answer : option (b) negligible
explanation : This statement is based on kinetic theory of gases.
according to kinetic theory of gases
- The volume occupied by a molecule of a gas is negligible in comparison with the volume of the container.
- The molecules are in constant linear motion.
- No energy gain or lost when molecules collide.
- shape of all molecules are identical and spherical. etc...
from above explanation, it is clear that option (B) is correct choice.
[note : kinetic theory of gases is applicable only in ideal condition. in real condition, size of molecule is considered that's why gas equation converted into for real gas. ]
