Select the correct answer. What does the kinetic theory state about the relationship between the speed and temperature of gas mo
lecules? A. As the temperature increases, the speed of gas molecules remains constant. B. As the temperature increases, the speed of gas molecules decreases. C. As the temperature increases, the speed of gas molecules increases. D. As the speed of gas molecules increases, the temperature becomes constant. E. As the temperature decreases, the speed of gas molecules increases.
The atoms of a chemical element can exist in different types. These are called isotopes. They have the same number of protons (and electrons), but different numbers of neutrons. Different isotopes of the same element have different masses.
An increase in temperature will increase the average kinetic energy of the molecules. As the particles move faster, they will likely hit the edge of the container more often.
