This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
The assumption of the kinetic theory of gases which states that- “ there is no force of attraction between the molecules of a gas. ” is a correct statement. Ideal gas has minimum force of attraction between the molecules and hence, it cannot be liquified. Liquefaction of a gas can only be done when the force of attraction between the molecules increases, which is not possible for an ideal gas.
