Particles in a gas are best described as?
a. Slow-moving kinetic hard spheres
b. Small, hard spheres with insignificant volumes
c. Hard spheres influenced by repulsive forces from other spheres
d. Spheres that are in fixed positions when trapped in a container
Particles in a gas are best described as small, hard spheres with insignificant volumes.
Explanation:
As per the kinetic molecular theory of gases, the molecules of gas
1. Are small and hard.
2. Have an insignificant volume
3. Don’t have repulsive/attractive forces.
So, according to this option b is the correct answer.
