The compressibility factor $(Z)$ of a gas is less than unity at $STP$,then:

The Van der Waals parameters for gases $W$,$X$,$Y$,and $Z$ are given below. Which one of these gases has the highest critical temperature?
$Gas$ $a \ (atm \ L^2 \ mol^{-2})$ $b \ (L \ mol^{-1})$
$W$ $4.0$ $0.027$
$X$ $8.0$ $0.030$
$Y$ $6.0$ $0.032$
$Z$ $12.0$ $0.027$

For $1$ mol of a real gas kept at constant temperature $T$,the graph of $PV$ vs $P$ intersects the $PV$ axis at $20$. Hence,the temperature $T$ is ($R$ = universal gas constant).

At a given temperature $T$,gases $Ne$,$Ar$,$Xe$,and $Kr$ are found to deviate from ideal gas behaviour. Their equation of state is given as $P = \frac{RT}{V - b}$ at $T$. Here,$b$ is the van der Waals constant. Which gas will exhibit a steeper increase in the plot of $Z$ (compression factor) versus $P$?
