Assertion: Kinetic energy and momentum of ideal gas molecules are conserved during intermolecular collision. Reason: Collision among real gas molecules is inelastic. Explanation: One of the postulates of Kinetic Molecular Theory is- The collision between gas particles or collisions with the walls of the container are perfectly elastic and none of the energy is lost when it collides with another particle or with the walls of the container. However, this condition is only fulfilled by ideal gas. In real gases and as per Maxwell-Boltzmann Molecular Distribution of Energy and Velocity, some collis
