A gas deviates from ideal behaviour at a high pressure because its molecules
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Some attractive forces exist between the molecules of real gases. When a molecule
approaches the wall of the container it experiences an inward pull as a result of altercative forces exerted by the neighbouring molecules inside the vessel, therefore the obsessed pressure is less than the ideal pressure and hence gas deviates from ideal behaviour at high pressure.
