Volume occupied by gas molecules themselves is not comparable to the volume between molecules.

Explanation:

Which of the following statements describes ideal gas according to the kinetic-molecular theory of gases?

Gas molecules lose energy when colliding into the wall of a container. FALSE. Collisions of ideal gas molecules are considered to be perfectly elastic, that is, no kinetic energy is lost.

Gas molecules attract each other through weak intermolecular forces. FALSE. In ideal gases, intermolecular attractions are negligible.

Volume occupied by gas molecules themselves is not comparable to the volume between molecules. TRUE.

Average kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to Celsius temperature. FALSE. Average kinetic energy is proportional to the absolute temperature (Kelvin).
