Question

Much of our understanding of the behavior of atomic particles derives from the observations that are made on the macroscopic level, but the Simulation can show you what happens on a microscopic level. Open the Simulation, and click the button labeled Run Experiment under the Experiment tab. Click the Submicroscopic tab for the box in the upper right corner to display the interactions that occur between gas particles as well as with the container. In the lower right corner, you can change various macroscopic properties (that you could normally observe or measure), which include pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles, by sliding the corresponding bars left or right. Change the various macroscopic conditions to observe their effects on the properties of individual gas particles and categorize your observations for each scenario below Drag the appropriate scenarios to their respective bins View Available Hint(s) Reset Help how increasing temperature (T) affects the average kinetic energy of the gas particles how increasing pressure (P) affects the average particle speed how increasing volume (V) affects the number of collisions over the same period of time | how decreasing volume (V) affects the number of collisions over the how decreasing the total number of moles (n) affects the average distance between particles how decreasing temperature (T) affects the average kinetic energy of the gas particles same period of time how changing the type of gas particle from Ne to Ar affects the average, relative distance between gas particles how decreasing pressure (P) affects the average particle speed how increasing the total number of moles (n) affects the average distance between particles Decreases the property Has no effect on the property Increases the property

Explanation / Answer

I am moving left to right in a row:

First row:

Increasing temperature (T) the average kinetic energy of the gas particles will also be increased.

Increasing pressure (P) the average particle speed is also increased.

As Volume Increased, number of collisions over the same period of time will be decreased.

Second row:

Decreasing volume (V) affects the number of collisions over the same period of time as number of collisions will be increased.

Decreasing total no of moles (n) will increase average distance between particles.    

Decreasing temperature (T) will also decrease the average kinetic energy of the gas particles.

Third row:

As we move from Ne to Ar electron fill one by one in the same shell so the particle size decreases   continuously. So average, relative distance should be increased.

Decreasing pressure (P) decreases the average particle speed.

When total no of moles (n) increased then average distance between particles will be decreased.
