Question

Which of the following gas is adsorbable to the maximum extent?

Answer: D

💡 Solution & Explanation

The extent of adsorption of a gas is generally proportional to its critical temperature and molecular mass because higher mass leads to stronger van der Waals forces. Xenon (Xe) has the highest molecular mass and critical temperature among the given noble gases. Therefore, correct answer is D.
