Question

As mentioned in the kinetic molecular theory, what is the main reason that the volume of gas particles can be considered zero?

a)The bonds present in gas particles are stronger than other bonds, pulling atoms in closer to each other, causing a shorter bond length which greatly decreases the volume.
b)When atoms enter the gas phase, they are less affected by gravity, which lowers their mass and in turn, their volume.
c)The real volume of the gas particles is extremely small when compared to the entire volume of their container.
d)Gas particles constantly expand and contract, which constantly alters their volume. When these volumes are averaged, a value of zero is obtained.

Answer 1

The real volume of the gas particles is extremely small when compared to the entire volume of their container.

d)Gas particles constantly expand and contract, which constantly alters their volume. When these volumes are averaged, a value of zero is obtained
