Real gases are those we encounter in the real world- hydrogen oxygen, nitrogen, argon, water vapour. An ideal gas is one that obeys the ideal gas law, usually expressed as PV=nRT. No real world gas follows this law although it is a good predictor of their behaviour as pressure, P, volume, V, temperature, T and number of moles, n, change.

A real gas is a type of gas that is different than an ideal gas. They have completely different interactions between their molecules.

actual real gas does not completely fill the requirements of the kinetic theory of gases because they have volume and under very high pressure intermolecular interaction are negligible.
