Question

the ideal gas law best describes the properties of which of the following gases at 0°c and 1 atm?
a o₂
b cf₄
c so₂
d sf₆

Explanation:

The ideal gas law is best obeyed by gases with small non - polar molecules and weak intermolecular forces at standard conditions ($0^{\circ}C$ and 1 atm). Oxygen ($O_2$) is a non - polar molecule. $CF_4$, $SO_2$, and $SF_6$ are larger molecules with more complex intermolecular forces due to their structure and polarity in the case of $SO_2$.

Answer:

A. $O_2$
