Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following assumptions is NOT part of the kinetic theory of gases?
Correct Answer: Option 3
  • Step 1: Understand what the kinetic theory of gases is. It explains how gases behave based on the motion of their molecules.
  • Step 2: Identify the main assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases. These include: gas molecules are in constant random motion, they collide elastically, and they occupy no volume.
  • Step 3: Recognize that one of the assumptions is that gas molecules do not attract or repel each other (no intermolecular forces).
  • Step 4: Look at the options given in the question and find the one that contradicts the assumption about intermolecular forces.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the option stating gas molecules experience intermolecular forces is NOT part of the kinetic theory of gases.
