Question

Kinetic energy of gaseous particles increases on increasing temperature.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The properties of gases are:

1. Gases have indefinite shape, size, and volume.
2. They have maximum fluidity.
3. They have the least rigidity.
4. They possess low densities as compared to solids and liquids.
5. They are highly compressible due to the presence of large interparticle space.
6. They show maximum diffusion.
7. They occupy the shape and volume of the container in which they are kept.
8. On increasing the temperature the gaseous particles gain more energy and they start moving at the greater speeds.

Hence, the given statement is true.
