Question

Why are the average kinetic energy of hydrogen , oxygen and nitrogen same at the same temperature explain

Answer 1

The hydrogen molecules are 3.74 times faster than the nitrogen molecules. ... The kinetic theory states that "The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas". Not all molecules will have the same kinetic energy and hence the same speed.

Answer 2

Answer:

The hydrogen molecules are 3.74 times faster than the nitrogen molecules. Not all molecules will have the same kinetic energy and hence the same speed. An increase in temperature increases the average speed of the molecules and the range of speeds.
