Q: What theory of gases describes this state of matter as composed of tiny particles in constant motion with a lot of distance between the particles?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

The kinetic theory of gases describes this state of matter as composed of tiny particles in constant motion with a lot of distance between the particles. This model of gases explains some of the physical properties of gases. Because most of a gas is empty space, a gas has a low density and can expand or contract under the appropriate influence. The fact that gas particles are in constant motion means that two or more gases will always mix, as the particles from the individual gases move and collide with each other. An ideal gas is a gas that exactly follows the statements of the kinetic theory. Unfortunately, real gases are not ideal. Many gases deviate slightly from agreeing perfectly with the kinetic theory of gases. However, most gases adhere to the statements so well that the kinetic theory of gases is well accepted by the scientific community.

 Choices:

- magnetic

- thermal

- optical

- kinetic


A:
kinetic
