It is postulated that collision between gas molecules are elastic.
Elastic Collision: A collision where the kinetic energy of the colliding bodies remain conserved.
Gas molecules are always colliding with each other and creating pressure on the walls of the container.
If we consider the collision between the molecule as inelastic then, during collision some amount of energy is released in this process as heat,light or sound.
If this happens their kinetic energy will decreases with each collision and at last come to an end ,without having any kinetic energy.In this case the molecules of gases will settle down to form liquid,but this doesn't happens gases remain as gases in normal room temperature and pressure.
Hence the collision between gas molecules are elastic.
And if they were inelastic ,gas molecule will settle down to form liquid.
