true or false
False. The particles of a gas do exert pressure on the walls of the container.
False. The particles of a gas do exert pressure on the walls of the container.
False
The particles of a gas do exert pressure on the walls of the container. This is because gas is composed of countless tiny particles (atoms or molecules) that are in constant motion and collisions with each other and with the walls of the container. These collisions create a force on the walls, which results in the exertion of pressure. The pressure exerted by a gas is directly proportional to the number of collisions per unit time and the force of each collision.
