What are the two assumptions of the kinetic theory that do not hold good?
Options
- A(a) There is no force of attraction between the molecules of a gas. (b) Volume of the molecules of a gas is ne
- B(a) Gas particles have no kinetic energy. (b) Gas particles are at rest.
- C(a) Gas particles have a fixed volume. (b) Gas particles have no intermolecular forces.
- D(a) Gas particles have infinite mass. (b) Gas particles occupy all available space.
Correct answer
A. (a) There is no force of attraction between the molecules of a gas. (b) Volume of the molecules of a gas is ne
Step-by-step solution
The two assumptions that do not hold good, which are (a) no force of attraction between gas molecules and (b) gas molecule volume being negligibly small compared to the occupied space.
