Answer:

Higher principal energy levels consist of orbitals which are larger in size than the orbitals from lower energy levels. The effect of the greater number of principal energy levels outweighs the increase in nuclear charge and so atomic radius increases down a group.

Temperature is _____ to the average kinetic energy of a gas.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As on increasing the temperature, the molecules gain more kinetic energy due to which they tend to collide and move rapidly from one place to another.

Thus, we can conclude that when temperature is increased, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.

This means that temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of a gas.
