Question 4 • Chemistry

Which is a postulate of the kinetic-molecular theory?

Answer
A
Gas particles are very large in size and always move slowly.
B
Gas particles have a small volume relative to the spaces between them.
C
Gas particles have a large volume relative to the spaces between them.
D
Gas particles are very small in size and always move slowly.

Explanation

The kinetic-molecular theory assumes that gas particles are tiny compared with the distances separating them. Their individual volume is therefore small relative to the empty space between particles. Choice D states this; the choices claiming particles are large or always move slowly do not fit the theory.
