The pressure exerted by a gas, according to kinetic theory, is due to
Aattraction between molecules
Bcollisions of molecules with the walls of the container
Ccollisions between molecules
Dthe weight of the gas
Answer: B
Kinetic theory attributes gas pressure to the change of momentum of molecules striking the container walls per unit time per unit area. Intermolecular collisions and attractions are neglected for an ideal gas.
