Question

 Gases are compressible because of:

  1. Space between particles are small
  2. Collision of particles
  3. Placement of particles
  4. Force of attraction between the particles

hintHint:

The molecular arrangement is responsible for the compressibility of gases.

The correct answer is: Space between particles are small


    The correct option is a)Space between particles are small.
    Gases are compressible because most of their volume consists of large amounts of empty space between the gas particles. At room temperature and pressure, the average distance between the gas molecules is about 10 times more than the diameter of the molecules themselves.

    Brownian motion is seen in  _______

    The atomicity of a molecule is the total number of atoms present in it.​
    Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) has one sulphur atom, two hydrogen atoms, and four oxygen atoms in it. Hence, a total of 7 atoms are present.​ Therefore, the atomicity of H2SO4 is seven.​
