A basic postulate of the kinetic theory of gases is that the molecules of a gas move in straight lines between collisions. This implies that

A. collisions are perfectly elastic

B. forces of repulsion exist

C. forces of repulsion and attraction are in equilibrium

D. collisions are inelastic

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
15.

On which of the following is the solubility of a gaseous substance dependent?
I. Nature of solvent
II. Nature of solute
III. Temperature
IV. Pressure

A. I, II, III and IV

B. I and II only

C. II only

D. III and IV only

Detailed Solution

The solubility of a gas decreases with an increase in temperature and a decrease in pressure.
There is an explanation video available below.
16.

Which of the following statements is correct about the periodic table?

A. Elements in the same period have the same number of valence electrons

B. The valence electrons of the elements in the same period increase progressively across the period

C. Elements in the same group have the same number of electron shells

D. The non-metallic Properties of the elements tend to decrease across each period

Detailed Solution

The valence electrons refer to the number of electrons in the outer shell. Across a period (horizontal row), the valence electron increases.

17.

The periodic classification is an arrangement of the elements

A. atomic weights

B. isotopic weights

C. molecular weights

D. atomic numbers

Detailed Solution

Elements in the periodic table are arranged according to their atomic number (proton number). Electronegativity increase from left to right while atomic radius increases down the group
