Molecules of _ can collide among themselves and exchange energy.
Correct answer: D. Both B and C
- A. Solids
- B. Liquids
- C. Gases
- D. Both B and C
Explanation
Liquids and gases consist of molecules that can collide among themselves and exchange energy. Solid molecules vibrate in fixed positions, so they cannot collide with each other.

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.
