Are the collisions between gas particles 100 percent elastic according to the Kinetic Molecular Theory?


Rate This Answer

Gas An elastic collision is an encounter between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies after the encounter is equal to their total kinetic energy before the encounter. Elastic collisions occur only if there is no net conversion of kinetic energy into other forms. Collisions between gas particles are not 100 percent elastic according to the KMT.
