Question

Which of the following statements is NOT a correct assumption of the model of an ideal monatomic gas?

• A. The atoms are constantly moving.
• B. The collision between atoms create pressure directly on the container of the gas.
• C. The collision between atoms are elastic.
• D. The only significant forces acting on the atoms are those that are applied as a result of collisions.
• E. The volume of each atom can be neglected.

Answer 1

The correct option is B The collision between atoms create pressure directly on the container of the gas.

Pressure is created by the atom of the gas when the collide with the container. during collision the atoms apply force on the container wall. This force per unit area is the pressure of the gas.
