Q. Positive deviation from ideal behaviour takes place because of
A) Molecular interaction between atom and $\frac{pV}{nRT} > 1$
B) Molecular interaction between atom and $\frac{pV}{nRT} < 1$
C) Finite size of atoms and $\frac{pV}{nRT} > 1$
D) Finite size of atoms and $\frac{pV}{nRT} < 1$
Explanation
(a)
$\frac{pV}{nRT} > 1,\$the gas is less compressible than expected from ideal behaviour and shows positive deviation.
