An ideal gas is not a real thing, just an idea. The definition of an ideal gas is one where there are no forces between the particles. If there are no forces, there is nothing to bring the particles together into a liquid. In a real gas of course there are forces of attraction which keep the particles together when they are moving sufficiently slowly.

Is argon gas an ideal gas?

Strictly speaking no, as an ideal gas is simply a theoretical device. Though it can be treated as an ideal gas to an extent.


What is an imaginary gas that conforms perfectly to the kinetic molecular theory callled?

That's called an "ideal gas". The behavior of real gases is quite similar to an ideal gas, except when the pressure is too high, or the temperature too low.That's called an "ideal gas".

Can an ideal gas turn into a solid?

An ideal gas is an abstraction - a simplification. No real gas behaves exactly like an "ideal gas". The reason an ideal gas is used is because (a) the math is simpler, and (b) this is close enough for real gases, in many cases. Thought this is often not stated explicitly, we can safely assume that an "ideal gas" is supposed to remain a gas, regardless of the temperature and pressure.


What are examples of ideal gases?

An ideal gas is a gas that follows all the gas laws perfectly. An ideal gas is only a theoretical concept though. In order to have an ideal gas, the gas molecule must have no mass and absolutely no interaction with any other molecule. Several gases come close to this ideal (such as Helium), but none of them can fully achieve it.
