  • Option 1)

     H2 and He shows +ve deviation from ideal gas equation.

  • Option 2)

     CO, CH4 and O2 show negative deviation from ideal gas equation.

  • Option 3)

     H2 and He show negative deviation while CO, CH4 and O2 show positive deviation.

  • Option 4)

     H2 and He are less compressible than that of an ideal gas while CO, CH4 and O2 more compressible than that of ideal gas.

As we learnt in 

Compressibility Factor -

for hydrogen and helium, Z is  greater than 1 even at low pressures.

 

-

 

I\! \! f \: Z > 1 \: positive \: deviation 

Z < 1 \: negative\: deviation


Option 1)

 H2 and He shows +ve deviation from ideal gas equation.
