Question

According to the kinetic theory, which statement about gases is correct?
Options
A Gas particles are in fixed positions and only vibrate
B Gas particles move constantly at great speed and at random
Correct Answer
C Gas particles have no kinetic energy
D Gas particles are held together by strong forces
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

According to the kinetic theory of matter, gas particles move about constantly at great speeds and in random directions. They have high kinetic energy and negligible intermolecular forces compared to solids and liquids.

Hint

Think about the motion of particles in the gaseous state.
