True or false ?The kinetic theory tries to explain the behavior of molecules in gases
Answers
Answer:
The answer is true. the kinetic theory tries to explain the behavior of molecules in gases
Explanation:
Kinetic theory of gases is based on the molecules picture of matter. According to which:
A given amount of gas is a mixture of very large number of identical molecules of the order of Avogadro's number.
The molecules are moving randomly in all directions.
At ordinary temperature and pressure, the size of the molecules is very small as compared to the distances between them.
Thus, the interaction between them is negligible.
Hence, they move according to Newton's laws of motion.
The molecules do not exert any force of attraction or repulsion on each other, except during collisions.
The collision of molecules against each other or with the walls of the container are perfectly elastic.
Such that the momentum and the kinetic energy of the molecules are conserved during collisions, though their velocities change.
