Explanation
in the Light of Kinetic Molecular Theory
|
||||
| Q) explain diffusibility of gases in term of K.M.T. | ||||
| According
to Kinetic molecular theory: The molecules of a gas are widely separated from each other and there are large empty spaces due to which molecules move freely. Due to this free movement gas molecules intermix with each other very quickly and diffuse very fast. FOR MORE DETAILS ON DIFFUSION CLICK HERE |

| Q) Define compressibility of a gas in the light of K.M.T. | ||||
| According to Kinetic Molecular Theory there are large empty spaces between molecules of gas. When pressure is applied on a gas, molecules of gas come close to each other and the volume of gas is reduced. That’s why gases can be compressed to large extend. | ||||
| Q) Explain diffusibility of liquids in terms of K.M.T. | ||||
| In term of K.M.T in liquid molecules are close to each other and diffusion takes place slowly. In liquids molecules move freely. This free movement of molecules is responsible for the diffusion of liquid. | ||||
| Q) Explain compressibility of liquids in terms of K.M.T. | ||||
| In the light of K.M.T the liquid molecules due to their closeness roll over one and other. Due to very little space between the molecules, the liquid molecules can not be pushed close to each other by applying pressure. However at very high pressure a liquid can be compressed to very small extend. | ||||
| Q) Explain compressibility of solids in terms of K.M.T. | ||||
|
According to K.M.T, there are very strong forces of attraction between the molecules of a solid and there is no space between two molecules. Due to this reason solids are completely incompressible. If we apply high pressure on a solid it will not compress but it will deform. |

| Q) Explain diffusibility of solids in terms of K.M.T. | ||||
|
In terms of K.M.T, there are very strong force of attraction between the molecules of a solid and there is no space among molecules. But there exists vibratory motion in the molecules of solid. This vibratory motion of molecules is responsible for the diffusion of solids. Since force of attraction are very large therefore diffusion in solids takes place with very negligible speed |
