MCQ
When we cool a gas below its condensation point, the $K.E.$ of its molecules:
  • A
    Increases
  • Decreases
  • C
    Remains the same
  • D
    First decreases then increases

Answer

Correct option: B.
Decreases
As we know kinetic energy of molecules of a gas is a function of Temperature
So, As we decrease its temperature or say cool it, its kinetic energy gradually decrease.
At a certain point which decreasing kinetic energy it starts bonding up whit molecules and thus condensation starts.
