Which is NOT an assumption of matter made by the kinetic molecular theory of gases?

a. The kinetic energy of particles is determined by their mass and their velocity.
b. Gas particles are widely dispersed and therefore are not affected significantly by attractive or repulsive forces.
c. Gas particles are small and take up little volume relative to the volume of the space around them.
d. When particles collide, their total energy is decreased.

Answer:

a. the Kinetic energy of particles is determined by their mass and their velocity.

Answer:

There is strong attraction or repulsion between the gas particles.In other words,they strongly interact with each other" is NOT an assumption made by kinetic molecular theory.

The theory that attempts to elucidate the behaviour of gases is known as kinetic molecular theory.

The postulates of kinetic molecular theory of gases are given below,

\bigstarGases consist of large number of identical particles(atoms or moleculesthat are so small and so far apart

\bigstar There is no force of attraction between the particles of a gas at ordinary temperature and pressure

\bigstarParticles of a gas are always in constant and random motion

\bigstarParticles of a gas move in all possible directions in straight lines. During their random motion, they       collide with each other and with the walls of the container

\bigstarCollisions of gas molecules are perfectly elastic. This means that total energy of molecules before and       after the collision remains same

\bigstarThe average kinetic energy (energy due to motion) of the gas particles is proportional to the temperature    measured in kelvin. As temperature increases, the particles move faster and have more energy

\bigstarAt any particular time, different particles in the gas have different speeds and hence different kinetic        energies.

\therefore From the above data it is clear that "There is strong attraction or repulsion between the gas particles.In other words,they strongly interact with each other" is NOT an assumption made by kinetic molecular theory.
