How do i find the name of an element

In a sample of oxygen gas at room temperature, the average kinetic energy of all the balls stays constant. which postulate of kinetic molecular theory best explains how this is possible? a. attractive forces between gas particles are negligible because the particles of an ideal gas are moving so quickly. b. collisions between gas particles are elastic; there is no net gain or loss of kinetic energy. c. gases consist of a large number of small particles, with a lot of space between the particles. d. gas particles are in constant, random motion, and higher kinetic energy means faster movement.

Iknow #2 is d. i just need to know why

Mrs. smith ordered a root beer float (vanilla ice cream + root beer). mrs. smith noticed that the three states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas) all existed simultaneously in her root beer float. a. identify each phase of matter in the root beer float. b. describe the particles of all three phases of matter in the root beer float. (how are the particles arranged and moving? ) c. identify one phase change you would see in a root beer float and described what causes this change.
