Regents Chemistry Exam August 2025 Question 16
16 The kinetic molecular theory states that the particles of an ideal gas
(1) constantly move in circular paths
(2) have no attractive forces between them
(3) create energy when gas particles collide with each other
(4) are separated by very small distances relative to their sizes
Solution:
According to the kinetic molecular theory, particles of an ideal gas:
Gas particles have negligible volume.
The gas particles are in continuous random motion and move in straight lines.
No forces of attraction or repulsion are considered to exist between the particles.
Collisions of gas particles may transfer energy from one particle to another, but the total kinetic energy remains the same.
Choice 2 is the correct answer
