Why can scientists ignore the forces of attraction between particles in a gas under ordinary conditions? They are too weak to have an effect at great distances between gas particles. They do not exist for particles that have kinetic energy. They are too weak to have an effect at the temperatures at which most gases exist.

Stephen Buck · Answer 1

They are too weak to have an affect at the temperatures at which most gases exists.

Explanation:

Scientist and researchers can ignore the forces of attraction between the particles in a gas under ordinary normal conditions because these forces between the particles are too weak to have an affect at the temperature at which most of the gases exists. Most of the gas exists at a very high temperature and the forces of attraction between the molecules of the gases are very weak as these molecules are loosely bounded to each other.
