Question

state the main postulates of the kinetic theory with special reference to- a) inter particles space, b)inter particle attraction, c) energy possesd by particles of matter

​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Inter particles space:- The particles are arranged in such a way that they have space existing between them. I.e inter molecular space

b) Inter particles attraction:- All particles attrack each other with a force which is maximum when the particles are close to each other and minimum when the particles are far from each other. I.e decreases with increase distance and vice versa

c) Energy possessed by particles of matter:- Since particles are in continuous motion, they carry an energy called as the kinetic energy. Application of heat increases kinetic energy of particles which helps them to move more randomly
