Question

1. postulate 1: gases are very small __ and their size is insignificant compared to the space around them. 11) postulate 2: gas molecules move in straight lines at different . 12) postulate 3: the intermolecular force between gas molecules is negligible, except at the moment they . 13) postulate 4: when gas molecules collide, their collisions are . 14) postulate 5: the average kinetic energy is directly related to the __ temperature.

Explanation:

1. Gas is made of small particles. Their size is negligible compared to the surrounding space.
2. Gas molecules move in straight - line paths at different speeds.
3. Intermolecular force between gas molecules is negligible except during collisions.
4. Gas - molecule collisions are elastic.
5. The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly related to the absolute temperature.

Answer:

1. particles
2. speeds
3. collide
4. elastic
5. absolute
