The kinetic theory of gases presumes the collisions between the molecules to be perfectly elastic because

Options

A. collisions will not split the molecules
B. the molecules are tiny
C. the molecules are rigid
D. the temperature remains constant irrespective of collisions

Answer

B

Explanation

If the molecules are tiny , the energy and momenta of the molecules are conserved during the collisions. Consequently , the temperature remains constant irrespective of collisions.
