The average kinetic energy of molecules of and at the same temperature is

  1. Agreater for
  2. Bgreater for
  3. Cthe same for both
  4. Dzero for both

Answer: C

Average kinetic energy per molecule depends only on temperature, not on the mass of the molecule. The lighter moves faster, but has the same average kinetic energy.
