Question

The high diffusibility of gases is due to

• A. high intermolecular forces of attraction
• B. high KE of molecules
• C. restricted translatory motion in the upward direction
• D. all the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B

high KE of molecules

Explanation for correct option:

The high diffusibility of gases is due to the high KE(Kinetic energy) of molecules.

Kinetic energy: It is defined as the energy which a body possesses by virtue of its motion.

The molecules of gases are always in random motion and will possess high kinetic energy.

Therefore, option (b) high KE of molecules is correct.
