As per the kinetic theory of ideal gases, which of the following statements is NOT correct?
(a)gas particles have mass but no volume
(b)particles are in a Brownian motion between collisions.
(c)during the collision, the system does not lose energy
(d)particles exert same force per unit area on all sides of the container.
Answer
Answer: B ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high

The source book printed A; on checking, B is correct — see the explanation.

Book printed (a).
