All of the following statements are false except

Correct answer: D. actual volume of a gas is not negligible at very high pressure

  • A. gas molecules do not attract each other at very low temperature
  • B. all of the gases cannot be liquefied
  • C. increase in pressure will not decrease the intermolecular distance
  • D. actual volume of a gas is not negligible at very high pressure

Explanation

True. At very high pressures, the actual volume of a gas is not negligible, and deviations from ideal behavior are observed. The ideal gas law assumes negligible volume for gas particles, but this assumption breaks down at high pressures.

About Atomic Structure

Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
