Question

According to the kinetic theory of gases, in an ideal gas, between two successive collisions a gas molecule travels

(a) in a circular path
(b) in a wavy path
(c) in a straight line path
(d) with an accelerated velocity.

Answer 1

(c) :- According to the kinetic theory of gases, gas molecules are always in rapid random motion colliding with each other and with the wall of the container and between two successive collisions a gas molecule travels in a straight line path.
