Transcribed Image Text:**Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases: Quiz**
**Question:**
Which of the following statements regarding the kinetic molecular theory of gases is NOT correct?
**Options:**
1. Gas particles are in constant, rapid, random motion.
2. Energy is not lost as gas particles collide with each other and container walls.
3. At a given temperature, the gas particles have the same velocity.
4. The gas particles themselves are assumed to occupy negligible volume.
*Explanation:*
This question is a multiple-choice format with four options, designed to assess understanding of the kinetic molecular theory of gases. A learner needs to identify which statement is incorrect according to the theory.
- **Option 1:** Accurate, as gas particles exhibit constant, rapid, and random motion.
- **Option 2:** Accurate, because gas particles do not lose energy in elastic collisions with each other and the container walls.
- **Option 3:** This is the incorrect statement. As per the kinetic molecular theory, at a given temperature, gas particles have a range of velocities due to the distribution of kinetic energy.
- **Option 4:** Accurate, as the volume of gas particles is so small compared to the volume of the container that it can be considered negligible.
Understanding these principles is essential in grasping how gases behave under different conditions in various scientific and real-life applications.
