Out of CO2 and NH3, which gas is expected to show more deviation from ideal behaviour?
Help :o
Deviation from ideal behavior occurs due to molecular interactions in the gas particles, so in case of ammonia NH3 due to the strong hydrogen bonding and polar character due to the difference in electronegativity of N and H-atoms, it will have more interactions as compared to the non polar and symmetric carbon dioxide (CO2) molecule.
Hence,NH3 gas will have more deviation.
