Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following gases is most likely to behave ideally?
  • Step 1: Understand what an ideal gas is. An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that follows the gas laws perfectly under all conditions.
  • Step 2: Know the characteristics of ideal gases. They have no intermolecular forces and occupy no volume.
  • Step 3: Compare the gases given in the question. Look for gases that are small in size and have weak intermolecular forces.
  • Step 4: Identify helium (He) as a noble gas. Noble gases are known for having very weak intermolecular forces.
  • Step 5: Conclude that helium (He) behaves most ideally because it is small and has weak forces between its atoms.
