How real gases differ from ideal gases?​

1 Answer

7 votes

An ideal gas is one that follows the gas laws at all conditions of temperature and pressure. To do so, the gas would need to completely abide by the kinetic-molecular theory. On the other hand, a real gas is a gas that does not behave according to the assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory.

Furthermore, the particles of an ideal gas are extremely small and have a mass equivalent to practically zero. Ideal gas particles also have no volume.

An example of a real gas is helium, oxygen, and nitrogen.
