Question

In a mixture of A and B, components show negative deviation when :

Accepted Answer

Option D. In the context of solutions and mixtures, a negative deviation from Raoult's law occurs when the interaction between different molecules (A-B interaction) is stronger than the interaction between similar molecules (A-A and B-B interactions). This is because the molecules prefer to interact with each other rather than themselves, leading to a decrease in the overall vapor pressure compared to what would be expected from Raoult's law.
