Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Molecules are in random movement
Concept:

While real gases deviate from ideal gases in terms of volume and intermolecular forces, they still share fundamental kinetic behaviors regarding motion.

Solution:

  • A core postulate of the Kinetic Molecular Theory that holds true for absolutely all gases (real or ideal) is that their molecules are in constant, continuous, and highly random motion.


  • They travel in straight lines until they collide with each other or the walls of the container.


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Option A: Real gases do have intermolecular forces of attraction (van der Waals forces).
  • Option B: Collisions in real gases are not perfectly elastic; some energy can be lost or transferred into internal molecular modes.
  • Option D: Real gases have a definite, non-negligible molecular volume, especially at high pressures.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
