NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the kinetic theory of gases is correct?
Molecules in a gas have a fixed speed and direction.
Collisions between gas molecules result in changes to their speed and direction.
The distribution of speeds of gas molecules remains constant in a state of equilibrium.
The molecular volume is always greater than the total volume occupied by the gas.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Collisions between gas molecules indeed change their direction and speed, which is a fundamental aspect of the kinetic theory of gases. This reflects the dynamic nature of gas molecules as they collide with each other and the walls of their container.
