Question 7 • ***CPS Online Chemistry fall – 1-2027
Temperature depends on the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample. How does this help explain why a plasma-based light does not have a high temperature?
Answer
A
No particles in the plasma have high kinetic energy.
B
The fastest particles have the greatest mass.
C
Most particles in the plasma are heavy, slow, and very low density.
D
The fastest particles transfer most of their energy through collisions.
