what is the behavior of gases – ideal, versus non-‐ideal, and the relevant interactions
Ideal | non - Ideal |
Made of small particles that have mass | Same |
Gases are mostly empty space | Same |
Low density | Same |
Gas particles are in constant random straight line motion | Same |
There are NO attractive or repulsive forces between particles | There are VERY SMALL attractive and repulsive forces between particles |
Particles have NO volume | Particles have very small volume |
Collisions ELASTIC (no loss in total kinetic energy) | Collisions are inelastic (NOT Elastic) (when gas particles collide they will lose energy) |
