Solution
The correct option is A Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1 In the case of H2, compressibility factor increases with an increase in pressure. Even at 273 K, Z > 1 which shows that it is difficult to compress the gas when compared to an ideal gas. In this case, repulsive forces dominate.
