Which assumption of the ideal gas model relates to the size of gas particles?.
- A.Gas particles have negligible volume compared to the container.
- B.Gas particles have a fixed volume.
- C.Gas particles occupy the entire volume of the container.
- D.Gas particles have significant volume.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Gas particles have negligible volume compared to the container.
Explanation
Why this works
