Which of the following statements incorrectly describes the assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory? Group of answer choices The particles that make up a substance have differing amounts of kinetic energy. Matter is composed of very small particles. Based on the state of matter a substance is in, it has varying particle arrangement. Particles stop moving completely when they are very cold.

Answer: B- Matter is composed of very small particles.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The particles that make up a substance having different amounts of kinetic energy.

b. Matter is composed of very small particles.

c. Based on the state of matter a substance is in, it has varying particle arrangement.

d. Particles stop moving completely when they are very cold.

The assumptions of KMT:
- Molecules are in constant random motion.

- They undergo elastic collisions; other than collisions.

- Particles do not interact with each other.

- The distance between particles is large compared to their size.


A, C, and D all have something similar to the assumptions that I have listed. B is something completely random and unrelated. (As far as KMT goes.)
