Random motion is a property of all particles. Brownian motion, the random redistribution of particles due to individual random motion, is possible in fluids, including gasses, liquids, and plasmas, but not in solids- the structure of solids prevents individual particles from moving out of place until they gain enough energy for their small random movements to break free.

The key feature of gasses relating to motion is that the particles have an appreciable amount of space between them and can travel many times farther before encountering another gas particle than is possible in a liquid. This allows the rapid diffusion of different gasses into a homogeneous mixture.

What term describes the disorder of random moleculer motion?

Brownian motion describes the disorder of random molecular motion. It is the random movement of particles in a fluid or gas due to their collisions with other particles.


Are the molecules in a gas in constant motion?

Yes, the molecules of a gas are constantly in a random motion if the gas temperature is more than 0 degree kelvin. This random motion determines the average kinetic energy of the molecules which is equal to the temperature of the gas. I hope this answers your question.


What type of energy is associated with random motion of particles in a sample of gas?

The random motion of particles in a gas is associated with kinetic energy. This energy corresponds to the particles' motion and is dependent on their velocity and mass.

What is the motion of particle in gas?

They move in a straight line until they hit something and bounce off. Molecules in a gas show random rectilinear motion. This is called Brownian motion

The kinetic molecular theory assumes that the particles of an ideal gas?

are small, point-like particles that are in constant random motion, and have perfectly elastic collisions with each other and the container walls. Additionally, they have negligible volume compared to the volume of the container in which they are enclosed.


How gas spreads?

The random motion of the gas molecules allows them to diffuse throughout the space available to them.


Does a random motion of a gas causes gas to expand until the it fills the container?

Yes, the random motion of gas particles causes them to exert pressure on the walls of the container, leading to the gas expanding to fill the available space. This is known as diffusion, where gas molecules spread out to achieve maximum entropy within the container.


What is the behaviour of gas molecules based on the kinetic theory?

Gas molecules are in continuous random motion and they collide with each other.


What type of energy is associated with random motion of particles in sample of gas?

thermal energy or kenetic energy
