A gas deviates from ideal behaviour at a high pressure because its molecules

  1. A attract one another
  2. B show the Tyndall effect
  3. C have kinetic energy
  4. D are bound by covalent bonds
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) attract one another

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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.
