Solution

The correct option is B Molecular impacts against the walls of vessel
According to kinetic molecular theory the pressure of a gas is due to molecular impacts (collisions) against the walls of vessel.
Hence option B is correct.

Q. Real gases show deviations from ideal gas law because molecules interact with each other. At high pressures molecules of gases are very close to each other. At very low temperatures intermolecular forces become significant. The deviation from ideal gas behaviour can be measured in terms of compressibility factor
