Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion Deviations of the compressibility factor z, from 1 unity are due to inter-molecular attractive and repulsive forces. At a given temperature and pressure, repulsive forces tend to make the volume larger than for an ideal gas, when these forces dominate z is greater than unity .
