A gas deviates from ideal behaviour at a high pressure because its molecules
Options
- Aattract one another
- Bshow the Tyndall effect
- Chave kinetic energy
- Dare bound by covalent bonds
Correct answer
A. attract one another
Step-by-step solution
At high pressure, the volume is decreased appreciably, so the attractive forces become large and the molecules are crowded together. Thus, pressure correction is necessary and the gas deviates more from ideal behaviour.
