Which of the following statements related to kinetic-molecular theory of gases is correct for an ideal gas?     There are no attractive or repulsive forces between and among gas particles.     Gas particles move slowly in a chaotic pattern until they collide with something.     For a given amount of gas, the smaller the volume of the container, the fewer the collisions that occur with the container walls, since there is less surface area.     The density of a gas is somewhat lower than that of a liquid.     The more gas particles there are in a container, the more frequently they collide with one another, so the particles stick together, resulting in a lower pressure.

Question

Which of the following statements related to kinetic-molecular theory of gases is correct for an ideal gas?

   

There are no attractive or repulsive forces between and among gas particles.

   

Gas particles move slowly in a chaotic pattern until they collide with something.

   

For a given amount of gas, the smaller the volume of the container, the fewer the collisions that occur with the container walls, since there is less surface area.

   

The density of a gas is somewhat lower than that of a liquid.

   

The more gas particles there are in a container, the more frequently they collide with one another, so the particles stick together, resulting in a lower pressure.
