Use the kinetic-molecular theory to explain the following phenomena:a.When 1 mol of a real gas is condensed to a liquid, the volume shrinks by a factor of about 1000.Molecules in a gas are far apart. They are much closer together in a liquid. Molecules in a gas are easily squeezed closer together as the gas is compressed

Answer:

The particles in a gas are comparatively very far from each other. Further an ideal gas has not interactions between the particles i.e repulsion. This explains why a gas that is compressed into a liquid collapses into a volume that is small by a factor of 1000. The particles get much closer to each other to form a liquid and they do not repel each other
