Question

According to the kinetic theory of gases, in an ideal gas, between two successive collisions a gas molecule travels.

Answer 1

According to kinetic theory the gas molecules are in a state of constant rapid motion in all possible directions colloiding in a random manner with one another and with the walls of the container and between two successive collisions molecules travel in a straight line path but show haphazard motion due to collisions.

Answer 2

According to the postulates of kinetic theory of gases, the molecules of a gas move in a straight line between two successive collisions. They change their path only when they suffer collisions with the other molecules or with the walls of the container.
