Step 1. Deviation from ideal gas behaviour is largest for gases with the strongest intermolecular attraction (largest van der Waals 'a').

Step 2. Among CH4_4, NH3_3, H2_2 and N2_2, ammonia is strongly polar with hydrogen-bonding-like intermolecular attractions, giving it by far the largest 'a' value of this group (consistent with the earlier table showing aNH3=4.170a_{NH_3}=4.170 against aCH4=2.253a_{CH_4}=2.253, aN2=1.390a_{N_2}=1.390, and H2_2's 'a' being …
