Elastic collisions

Explanation:

The collision between gas particles and the container walls are elastic collisions because there is no overall loss of kinetic energy.

This is one of the assertions of the kinetic theory of gases.

Elastic collision is a form of collision in which the two molecules does not stick together. It is random and independent in nature.

Through this assumption, we can make a wide array of assumption about the properties of gases without getting it complicated.

the number of valence electrons for each molecule or ion is shown beneath the structure. remember hydrogen will not have more than two electrons. this hydrogen is part of a covalent bond (sharing two electrons). a double bond here would cause hydrogen to share four electrons with phosphorus.
