(A) $(i)$ False. By definition,there are no intermolecular forces of attraction or repulsion in an ideal gas.
$(ii)$ True. Since there are no intermolecular forces,the potential energy associated with the interaction between molecules is zero.
$(iii)$ False. Different gases have molecules of different sizes and structures.
$(iv)$ True. According to the kinetic theory of gases,ideal gas molecules are considered point masses or perfectly elastic spheres that undergo elastic collisions.
