Question

1. the kinetic molecular theory describes the behavior of ____________ in a gas.
2. particles in a gas are small and the motion of those particles is rapid, constant, and random.

true
false

1. gases can be defined by the following statement:

a) gases are freely flow to fill the container they are in
b) gases do not have a defined volume or shape
c) gases are highly compressible
d) all of the above

1. gas molecules move in straight lines at different speeds

true
false

Explanation:

1. The Kinetic Molecular Theory focuses on gas - phase particles.
2. This is a fundamental tenet of the Kinetic Molecular Theory for gases.
3. All the listed properties (free - flowing, no defined volume/shape, highly compressible) are characteristics of gases.
4. Gas molecules move in straight - line paths at varying speeds as per the Kinetic Molecular Theory.

Answer:

1. Particles
2. True
3. D. All of the above
4. True
