What does “Real vs ideal gas behaviour” actually mean in States of Matter: Gases, and why does it matter for NEET?

real gases deviate from PV = nRT at high pressure and low temperature, when molecular size and attractions can't be ignored.

In simple words: real gases deviate from PV = nRT at high pressure and low temperature, when molecular size and attractions can't be ignored. Getting Real vs ideal gas behaviour clear matters because NEET questions on States of Matter: Gases usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.

Key point

Real vs ideal gas behaviour

Common mistake

assuming every gas obeys the ideal equation under all conditions.

Memory tip

ideal-gas law works best at low pressure and high temperature.
