A mono-atomic substance can store energy only in the form of:

Correct answer: A. Translational motion

  • A. Translational motion
  • B. Rotational motion
  • C. Vibrational motion
  • D. Rotational and vibrational motion

Explanation

A mono-atomic substance can store energy only in the form of translational motion. Translational motion is the motion of an object from one place to another. The simplest example of translational motion is the motion of a car down the road. The car will move from one point to another as it travels down the road.

About Kinetic Molecular Theory

Kinetic molecular theory explains gases as rapidly moving particles separated by large distances, with negligible volume and negligible intermolecular attraction in the ideal model. It relates temperature to average kinetic energy and explains gas pressure, Boyle's and Charles's laws, diffusion, effusion and the conditions under which real gases deviate from ideal behavior.
