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

A

occur in a zig - zag path

occur in a straight line

C

change velocity and energy

D

result in settling down of molecules.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
