Two gas particles collide together in a sealed container. What can be said about the kinetic energy of the two gas particles?

a)During the collision, each gas particle transfersall of its kinetic energy to the other particle.
b)The total kinetic energy of both gas particles will remain the same, but they can transfer any amount to each other.
c)The new kinetic energy of each gas particle is the sum of the kinetic energy that each particle is traveling with.
d)The kinetic energy of each gas particle remains the same as kinetic energy cannot be transferred between particles with zero volume.
