Answer:the volume of the gas particles is negligible compared with the total volume of the gas.--D
Explanation:
According to the Kinetic Molecular Theory for ideal gases, it states that
--Gases are composed of larges molecules which are in constant random motion in a straight line
--The volume of the gas particles is negligible compared to the total volume in which the gas is contained.
-----The Attractive and repulsive forces between gas molecules is insignificant ie There are no interactive forces.
----The collisions of the particles are perfectly elastic and energyis being transferred between the particles but the total energy remaining constant
From the statements of the kinetic Molecular theory of ideal gases, it can be seen that the statement which describes the particles of an ideal gas is option D which is The volume of the gas particles is negligible compared with the total volume of the gas--- ---This gives the reason why gases can be compressed. Since there are no inter molecular forces between them. The particles of an ideal gas will move at the same random motion resulting to high pressures, compressing the gas and making the volume negligible or insignificant.
