Which factor is defined as the average kinetic energy of a substance?
a. the mass of the substance
b. the volume of the substance
c. the pressure of the substance
d. the temperature of the substance

D. Temperature is the factor based upon which the average kinetic energy of the substance depends upon.

The kinetic theory of gases depicts a gas as countless submicroscopic particles, which are all in steady, fast, arbitrary movement. The haphazardness emerges from the particles' numerous crashes with one another and with the dividers of the holder.  

This theory of gases clarifies the perceptible properties of gases, for example, weight, temperature, thickness, warm conductivity, and volume, by thinking about their atomic synthesis and movement. The hypothesis places that gas weight results from particles' crashes with the dividers of a compartment at various speeds.  

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
