Dominance of strong repulsive forces among the molecules of the gas ?

A

depends on Z and indicated by `Z = 1`

B

depends on Z and indicated by `Z gt 1`

C

depends on Z and indicated by `Z lt 1`

D

is independent of Z

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`Z gt 1` shows that gas is less compressible than expected. This is due to dominance of strong repulsive forces among the molecules
