Q48 / 225 · JEE Main 2003 · Chemistry

According to the kinetic theory of gases, in an ideal gas, between two successive collisions a gas molecule travels

A
in a wavy path
Correct answer
B
in a straight line path
C
with an accelerated velocity
D
in a circular path

Solution

According to kinetic theory the gas molecules travel in a straight line path but show haphazard motion due to collisions.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
