A. the particles are closely packed together; they occupy minimum space are usually arranged in a regular pattern
B. the particles vibrate about fixed positions and are held together by the strong intermolecular bonds between them
C. the molecules are very far apart and occupy all the spaces made available to them
D. the particles occur in clusters with molecules slightly further apart
Correct Answer:
Option C – the molecules are very far apart and occupy all the spaces made available to them
Explanation
The model, called the kinetic theory of gases, assumes that the molecules are very small relative to the distance between molecules.
The molecules are in constant, random motion and frequently collide with each other and with the walls of any container.
