Question 3

Kinetic Theory and States of Matter

Which of the following properties is NOT peculiar to matter?

  1. A.Kinetic energy of particles increases from solid to gas.
  2. B.Random motion of particles increases from liquid to gas.
  3. C.Orderliness of particles increases from gas to liquid.
  4. D.Random motion of particles increases from gas to solid.
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: D (Random motion of particles increases from gas to solid.)

Explanation

Particles move most randomly in a gas and least in a solid, so random motion decreases (not increases) from gas to solid.
