One valid assumption of the kinetic theory of gasses is the

a

the molecules of a gas are constantly in a state of motion and the number of collision remains constant

b

the number of molecule of gas increases with increasing pressure

c

as the temperature increases, the number of collision made by the gas molecule remains constant

d

the molecules of gas are all identical and are very small in size

D is correct for an ideal gas but incorrect for a real gas .. in the question no mention of an ideal gas ... therefore A is perfectly suited to be the answer to this question

I thought it's "a"

The correct answer is:

D. the molecules of gas are all identical and are very small in size

Explanation:

According to the Kinetic Theory of Gases, some key assumptions include:

Gas molecules are very small compared to the distance between them.
Molecules are identical (for a given gas).
They are in constant random motion.
Collisions are elastic, but the number of collisions is not constant—it depends on conditions like temperature and pressure.
Why others are incorrect:
A: Molecules are in motion (true), but the number of collisions is not constant.
B: Number of molecules does not increase with pressure (unless gas is added).
C: Increasing temperature actually increases collisions, not keeps them constant.

So, D matches a valid assumption.

no, its not A because collision is not constant, it increases with increase in temperature
