Question

Which of the following are not properties of ideal gases? [Select all that apply.] The gas molecules repel one another The gas molecules experience elastic collisions Kinetic energy is converted into potential energy when the gas molecules collide The gas molecules form dispersion forces with one another. The gas molecules form hydrogen bonds with each other The gas molecules are physically large, occupying a significant volume of space relative to the volume of their container.

Answer 1

The following are not the properties of ideal gases

• The gas molecules repel each other
• The gas molecules form dispersion forces with one another
• The gas molecules form hydrogen bonds with each other
• The gas molecules are physically large, occupying a significant volume of space relative to the volume of their container

Explanation

According to the kinetic theory of gases, there are no forces of any kind between molecules of gas. Neither repulsive force and neither attractive forces. Hence molecules can neither repel each other nor can they form bonds of any kind.

Also molecules are considered to be very small so that volume of gas is equal to volume of container.
