2. The story about the author as a boy, used to illustrate how the difference in pressure caused a liquid to rise, involved which of the following?

a. There are no attractions between particles. b. The space between the particles is the same as the size of the particles. c. Particles move slower when temperature increases.

2. The story about the author as a boy, used to illustrate how the difference in pressure caused a liquid to rise, involved which of the following?

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1 .a. There are no attractions between particles.

Kinetic molecular theory explains the property of gases assuming that the particles are perfectly elastic that is sphere, they are in continious random motion and there is no net attractive or repulsive forces in between them. The motion or the velocity of these particles depend upon the temperature of the system.
