According to the kinetic theory of gases, in an ideal gas, between two successive collisions a gas molecule travels
A.
in a wavy path
B.
in a straight line path
C.
with an accelerated velocity
D.
in a circular path
Answer :
in a straight line path
Solution :
According to kinetic theory the gas molecules are in a state of constant rapid motion in all possible directions colloiding in a random manner with one another and with the walls of the container and between two successive collisions molecules travel in a straight line path but show haphazard motion due to collisions.
