QUESTION
Kinetic
molecular theory helps explain the definition of temperature
based on molecular motion. Which
statement describes an important aspect of this
connection?
1. Temperature is inversely related to
the kinetic energy of the
gas particles.
2. At the same temperature, more
massive gas particles will be
moving faster than less massive
gas particles.
3. The average velocity of gas
particles is directly related to
temperature.
4. Kinetic energy is directly related
to temperature. This is valid
for any units of temperature.
