The basic assumption in the kinetic theory of gas that: "forces of attraction and repulsion between gaseous molecules are negligible" implies that ____________
A. molecules will continue their motion indefinitely B. gases will occupy any available space C. gases can be compressed D. none of the above
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
Since no force exists between the molecules, they continue to move indefinitely. Attractive forces exist between molecules of real gases, these cause real gases to undergo condensation (or liquefaction)
