Read the Assertion and Reason below and choose the correct option. — States of Matter and Gaseous State Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Statement I represents Avogadro's law, which is correct. Statement II is a postulate of the kinetic theory of gases. Because the volume occupied by the gas is mostly empty space (due to the large distances between molecules), the actual size and identity of the molecules do not significantly affect the total volume. Thus, Statement II is correct and properly explains Statement I. Therefore, correct answer is A.
