Question

Molecules in motion possess energy called kinetic energy.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Kinetic energy:

• The average energy possessed by the molecule is due to their motion which is directly proportional to the temperature called kinetic energy.
• The particles of matter are in continuous motion and hence generate kinetic energy by moving continuously.
• We know any moving particle possesses kinetic energy.
• Therefore every molecule in motion has kinetic energy in it.

Hence, the given statement is true.
