Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas composed of a set of randomly-moving, non-interacting point particles. Therefore, there are no attractive forces between the gas molecules (A), the volume occupied by the molecules is negligible compared to the container volume (C), the gas behaves according to the ideal gas equation (D), and the average kinetic energy of the molecules is proportional to the absolute temperature (E). However, there are no strong repulsive forces between the gas molecules (B), as the particles do not interact with each other in an ideal gas.
