List the key assumptions made in the ideal gas model.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The ideal gas model assumes that gas particles are in constant random motion, that they occupy no volume, and that there are no intermolecular forces between them.
- Additionally, it assumes that all collisions between particles are perfectly elastic.
Explanation
Why this works
This answer is strong because it accurately identifies the fundamental assumptions of the ideal gas model, which are essential for understanding gas behavior in physics. The question tests the student's recall of theoretical concepts in the molecular kinetic theory model.
