Why are the deviations from ideal behaviour of `CO_(2) and CH_(4)` greater than those of `H_(2)` and He?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The Molar masses of `CO_(2) and CH_(4)` are greater than those of `H_(2) ` and He. Hence, the intermolecular attractive forces in `CO_(2) and CH_(4)` are also greater in magnitude than that in `H_(2) and He`. This results in a greater deviation from ideal behaviour for `CO_(2)` and `CH_(4)` than that for `H_(2) and He`.
