Which of the following is true of the behavior of a gas?
a) gas particles collide, rebound and travel in new directions.
b) the attractive force between gas particles is strong.
c) gas particles move slower at higher temperatures.
D) most of the volume of a gas is occupied by the gas particles.
a) is true. I.e -when gas particle colloid rebound and travel in news election through zigzag pathway. The motion of the gas particles is named as Brownian motion
Ideally there is no attraction between gas particles. But in a real gas there is a weak interaction call vanderwall force. In Ideal gas the volume of the gas particle is negligible compared to space between particles but vanderwall gas particles and very small in size.
As the temperature is increases thermal energy convert to the kinetic energy of gas, causes the fast movement of gas particles.
