Ideal gas molecules do not attract or repel each other. The only interaction
between ideal gas molecules would be an elastic collision upon impact with each
other or an elastic collision with the walls of the container.
Ideal gas molecules themselves take up no volume. The gas takes up volume
since the molecules expand into a large region of space, but the Ideal gas
molecules are approximated as point particles that have no volume in and of
themselves.
There are no gases that are exactly ideal, but there are plenty of gases that are
close enough that the concept of an ideal gas is an extremely useful approximation for
many situations. In fact, for temperatures near room temperature and pressures near
atmospheric pressure, many of the gases we care about are very nearly ideal.
The gas variables, pressure P, volume V, and temperature T, of an ideal gas are
related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law. The simplicity of this relationship is
a big reason why we typically treat gases as ideal, unless there is a good reason to do
otherwise.
PV = nRT
Where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume taken up by the gas, T is the
temperature of the gas, R is the gas constant, and n is the number of moles of the gas.
The term pV / nRT is also called the compression factor and is a measure of the
ideality of the gas. An ideal gas will always equal 1 when plugged into this equation.
The greater it deviates from the number 1, the more it will behave like a real gas rather
than an ideal.
The Ideal Gas Law is simply the combination of all Simple Gas Laws (Boyle's Law,
Charles' Law, and Avogadro's Law) and the Simple Gas Laws can always be derived
from the Ideal Gas equation.
Boyle’s Law describes the inverse proportional relationship between pressure and
volume at a constant temperature and a fixed amount of gas. This can be expressed
from two pressure / volume points:
P1V1=P2V2
Charles's Law describes the directly proportional relationship between the volume
and temperature (in Kelvin) of a fixed amount of gas, when the pressure is held
constant. This can be expressed from two volume / temperature points:
V1 V2
=
T 1 T2
Avogadro’s Law describes the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the amount
of gas at a constant temperature and pressure. This can be expressed as a two
volume / number points:
V1 V2
=
n1 n 2
