Question 2

The particles are assume to exert no forces on each other…

Answer 2

…..they are assumed neither to attract nor repel each other.

Question 3

The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles is assumed to be…..

Answer 3

…..directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas.

Question 4

1. The particles are so small compared with the distances between them…..

Answer 4

….that the volume of the individual particles can be assumed to be negligible.
