Question

Mention a phenomenon by which it can be said that the gas molecules are in constant motion. Mention two incorrect postulates of the Kinetic Theory of gas. [1+2]

WBBSE Class X Physical Science Behaviour of Gases 03 Mark 2024

Answer

Phenomenon: Brownian motion shows that gas molecules are in constant motion.

Two incorrect postulates of Kinetic Theory of Gases:

  1. The volume of gas molecules is negligible compared to the volume of the container.
  2. There are no forces of attraction or repulsion between gas molecules.
