Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) a and d only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to kinetic molecular theory of gases, a) The actual volume of the molecules is negligible in comparison to the empty space between them. Means particle size is very, very small (point mass). b) Collisions of gas molecules are perfectly elastic. So, given statement is…
