Which of the following is not a postulate of the kinetic molecular theory?


A.The absolute temperature of a substance is equal to the average kinetic energy of its particles.

B.The collisions between gas molecules are elastic.

C.Gas molecules travel in random, straight paths.

D.The energy of a gas molecule is determined by quantum mechanics.

Verified Answer :

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. It would be that the energy of a gas molecule is determined by quantum mechanics that is not a postulate of the kinetic molecular theory. Hope this answers the question.
