Billy Braun · Answer 1

Speaking of Kinetic Molecular Theory, this theory states that the gas molecules in a container possesses motion that is constant and the kinetic energy of these molecules is dependent on the temperature of the gas. Therefore, on the given statements above, the one that does not follow this theory is the last option.

Tabitha · Answer 2

Gas molecules do not have mass, because all of the other choices follow the kinetic molecular theory
