Question

In gases, the molecules are spaced far apart and have a lot of energy.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. The molecules in a gas are small and very far apart.
2. Most of the volume that a gas occupies is empty space.
3. Gas molecules are in constant random motion.
4. Molecules can collide with each other and with the walls of the container.
5. When collisions occur, the molecules lose no kinetic energy; that is, the collisions are said to be perfectly elastic.
6. Thus the energy is very high and the total kinetic energy of all the molecules remains constant unless there is some outside interference.

Hence, the statement is true.
