Question

Molecules may lose or gain energy when they collide with other molecules.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. Gases are comprised of molecules that are free to move in space.
2. They have negligible intermolecular forces between their molecules.
3. When these molecules collide with each other or with the walls of the container, they do not lose or gain energy because it is an elastic collision.

Hence, the above statement is false.
