Which of the following is not the characteristic of gases?
(a) kinetic energy is dependent on temperature
(b) High densities
(c) Compressibilty
(d) Volume decreases with an increase in pressure.
Answer:
High densities are not the characteristic of gases.
Explanation:
Checking the options:
(a) The kinetic energy of gas depends only upon absolute temperature. As the temperature is the same accordingly the kinetic energy is the same, according to the ideal gas law equation.
(b) Solids are having a constant shape, as well as mass and volume, and do not conform to the shape of the compartment in which they are placed. So, the high densities are characteristic of solids not gases.
(c) Particles of the gas are having high intermolecular spaces. By the effect of pressure, much of this space can be decreased and the particles can be compressed.
(d) According to the Boyles law, the Volume decreases with an increase in pressure when the temperature is constant.
Hence, High densities are not a characteristic of the gas. Hence, option (b) High densities is the correct answer

Answer:
Higher densities
Explanation:
Gas-
• Gases have no fixed volume or shape because they are very loosely packed (particles far apart).
• Particles are constantly moving and the frequencies are higher than in the liquid state.
Thus, gases have higher kinetic energy, and this kinetic energy increases with an increase in temperature.
• The attractive force between particles is too weak to bind them together.
• Gases are highly compressible and due to this property, their volume decreases on applying pressure.
• Density is defined as mass/volume. As the volume occupied by gas is more, thus they are less denser than liquids and solids.
Thus, higher densities is not the characteristics of gases.
