Answer:The average energy of the particles is dependent on the molecular mass of the particle is not part of Kinetic Molecular Theory.

Explanation:

The kinetic theory of gases was postulate by Clausius in 1857. Clausius speculated on how heat energy, temperature, and molecule motion could explain gas behavior. The kinetic theory of gases includes the following:

- A gas consists of molecules in constant random motion.

-Gas molecules influence each other only by collision; they exert no other forces on each other.

-All collisions between gas molecules are perfectly elastic; all kinetic energy is conserved.

- The volume actually occupied by the molecules of a gas is negligibly small; the vast majority of the volume of the gas is empty space through which the gas molecules are moving.
