Simple Gas Laws and KMT

According to the kinetic molecular theory, which statement describes the particles in a sample of an ideal gas?

• The particles have attractive forces between them.

• The particles are considered to have negligible volume.

• The particles are constantly moving in circular paths.

• The particles collide, decreasing the total energy of the system.

• why some gases are monatomic

• why some gases are diatomic

• the mass of a gas sample
