What assumption does the Kinetic Molecular Theory make about the size of gas particles relative to the distances between them?

• Gas particles are much larger than the distances between them.

• Gas particles and the distances between them are about the same.

• Gas particles are much smaller than the distances between them.

• The size of gas particles is irrelevant to the distances between them.

How do gas particles move according to the Kinetic Molecular Theory?

• In a linear, directed motion.

• Only when influenced by an external force.

• In constant, random motion.

• In a circular, repetitive pattern.
