At extremely high pressures, the value of PV/nRT increases to a value greater than 1 for all gases. How can this be explained?
A. Gas atoms become smaller as the gas is compressed.
B. Temperature deviates from ideal behavior at elevated pressures.
C. The size of the particles becomes more significant than intermolecular forces.
D. Molecules experience greater induced dipoles as the mean free path decreases.
