A gas shows deviation from ideal behaviour at______________?

Correct answer: D. Low temperature and high pressure

  • A. Low pressure and high temperature
  • B. Low pressure and low temperature
  • C. High temperature and high pressure
  • D. Low temperature and high pressure

Explanation

Non-ideal behaviour becomes most noticeable when molecules are close together and intermolecular forces matter, as at high pressure and low temperature. At low pressure and high temperature, gases approach ideal behaviour.
