Question

Which of the following is TRUE about ideal gas particles?

A.They move in random directions.
B.They are very large.
C.They have high intermolecular forces.
D.They have inelastic collisions.
E.They always move in straight lines.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. They move in random directions. According to the kinetic-molecular theory of gases, gas particles are in constant rapid motion in random directions until they collide with other molecules or the walls of the container.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is A. They move in random directions. According to the kinetic-molecular theory of gases, gas particles are in constant rapid motion in random directions until they collide with other molecules or the walls of the container. This random motion allows for gases to spread out and fill the available space. The collisions between gas particles and with the container walls are elastic collisions, meaning there is no net loss of energy from the collisions.

Answer 2

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gas particles do not have a fixed position or volume so they move in random speed and directions.
