Which of the following statements is true?
A)The attractive forces among ideal gas molecules are known as kinetic molecular forces
B)Ideal gas molecules behave as independent particles
C)The movement of a given ideal gas molecule is influenced only by the molecules in the immediate vicinity of that molecule
D)The attractive forces among ideal gas molecules are short-range forces
E)The attractive forces among ideal gas molecules primarily depend upon the size of the particles

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ideal gas molecules behave as independent particles, meaning that they do not interact with each other, and their movement is not influenced by other molecules in the system. The attractive forces among the gas molecules are negligible in an ideal gas model. Therefore, choices A, D, and E are incorrect. Choice C is also incorrect because the movement of a gas molecule is influenced by its interaction with all the molecules in the system, not just in its immediate vicinity.
