Question

With the increase in energy of the air molecules in atmosphere, the space required to accommodate the number of molecules.

• A. decreases
• B. increases
• C. remains the same

Answer 1

The correct option is B increases

Molecules at higher temperatures have more energy. An increase in the energy of air molecules increases their kinetic energy. Because of this, the space taken up by these molecules will also increase. Hence, the volume of air increases.
