Chapter 6, Problem 6.102E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The statement which does not correspond to kinetic molecular theory of gases is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Kinetic molecular theory explains the states of matter. The five postulates given by kinetic molecular theory are as follows.

• Matter is made up to tiny particles termed as molecules.

• The particles of matter are in constant motion and possess kinetic energy.

• The particles of matter possess potential energy due to repulsion and attraction between molecules.

• The speed of a particle is directly related to its temperature.

• The energy of any system is conserved.
