Which statement about an ideal gas is TRUE according to the kinetic molecular theory?
AIdeal gas particles have significant volume
BIdeal gas particles attract each other strongly
CIdeal gas particles move randomly and collide elastically
DIdeal gas particles slow down as temperature rises
Explanation
📌 Kinetic Molecular Theory assumes ideal gas particles (1) have negligible volume relative to the container, (2) experience no intermolecular forces, (3) move in random straight-line motion, (4) undergo elastic collisions (no energy lost), and (5) have average kinetic energy proportional to absolute temperature. Real gases deviate at high pressure and low temperature.
