Lilianna Gutierrez · Answer 1

The kinetic theory states that matter consists of particles in constant motion.

Kenley Carr · Answer 2

The particles of matter are in constant motion.

Explanation:

Let us consider each statement:

1) Matter consists of only large molecules: No it is not necessary that matter consists of only large molecules, it depends upon the nature of matter.

2) Matter is made up of only charged particles: no the matter may have any kind of particles charged or uncharged.

3) The particles of matter are in constant motion: Yes according to kinetic theory the matter particles are in constant motion.

4) The particles of matter have zero kinetic energy: it is not possible.
