B)The intermolecular forces between nitrogen molecules are not negligible.
C)Molecules of gaseous nitrogen are in constant random motion.
D)The average kinetic energy of the gaseous nitrogen is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.
E)The pressure exerted by gaseous nitrogen is due to collisions of the molecules with the walls of the container.
