Why in the case of hydrogen and helium, the compressibility factor is always greater than 1 and increases with increase of pressure?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Size of molecule of He and `H_(2)` is extremely small hence force of attraction between He atoms or `H_(2)` molecules is negligible.
