The Kinetic Molecular Theory relies on the following assumptions: 1) The size of the molecules of the gas is small compared to the volume of the gas. 2) Molecules move at random and in a straight line. Movement in any axis of space is independent of the other two axes. 3) Molecules collide against each other and the walls of the container in an elastic manner. In an elastic collision:

Question

(Select all that apply)
A There is no interaction (gain or loss of electric potential energy) during the collision.

B The shape of the molecules are restored to the original shape after the collision (no deformation)

C During a collision, the total momentum of colliding molecules is conserved (No kinetic energy is lost as heat).

D All molecules must have the same kinetic energy

Answer 1

A There is no interaction (gain or loss of electric potential energy) during the collision.
B The shape of the molecules are restored to the original shape after the collision (no deformation)
C During a collision, the total momentum of colliding molecules is conserved (No kinetic energy is lost as heat).
