Solution

The correct option is A True
  • The intermolecular force of attraction between the gas molecules is negligible.
  • The distance between the particles is higher.
  • They neither attract nor repel each other.
  • As a result, they will be always in random motion.
  • So they can flow easily and do not possess a definite shape.
  • Due to these properties, the particles can also expand or be compressed to large volumes.
  • So they do not have a definite volume.
  • Thus, the given statement is true.
