The ideal gas law effectively treats atoms as point masses that have no interactions except for collisions (no attraction or repulsion). Molecules in hot gasses generally are so far apart that their volume relative to the overall volume is insignificant. They don't attract or repel each other much either at high temperatures because they are mostly too far apart - and - they are moving so quickly that even when close, they are not close for long. As gases cool, the molecules group closer together and move slower and quit behaving in a manner that the ideal gas law can be said to represent well.

What is the properties of noble gases as a result of their stable electron configuration?

Noble gases have a stable electron configuration with a full outermost energy level, which makes them very unreactive. This means that they do not easily form compounds with other elements. They have low boiling and melting points, and are colorless and odorless gases at room temperature. Additionally, noble gases have high ionization energies, which means it requires a large amount of energy to remove an electron from their outermost energy level.


What is unique about the orbital of noble gases?

Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration.


Do you freeze gas to make it a liquid?

most gases only become liquid under extreme pressure, not cold.Additional answerThere's a critical temperature, which is different for each gas, above which it won't liquefy even if compressed. Certainly a domestic freezer won't be nearly cold enough for most gases. But carbon dioxide will solidify with no compression at all.


What non metals at room temp?

Most non metals are usually liquids or gases at room temperature, although not specifically one or the other. It depends on the properties of the substance. Most metals are solids at room temperature, with the exception of Mercury.


Are the only gases the diatomic gases and the noble gases?

No - there are many gases that contain more than one or two atoms. Some examples are: Carbon Dioxide: 3 atoms Acetylene: 4 atoms Methane: 5 atoms Ethylene: 6 atoms . . . and the list goes on. It is true though that as the more atoms a molecule consists of, the less likely it is to be a gas at a temperature we are familiar with. Pretty nearly all molecules can be gases if the pressure is low enough and the temperature is high enough (unless they decompose before they can be heated enough to make their vapor pressure exceed the ambient pressure).

Why Real gases do not obey gas laws?

Real gases do not obey gas laws because these gases contains forces of attractions among the molecules..and the gases which do not contain forces of attraction among their molecules are called ideal gases and they obey gas laws.

What is the Difference between airs and gases and water vapour?

Air is the mixture of different gases (like oxigen, nitrogen, co2 e.t.c.) & water vapour. Gases are only gases, here is no water vapour. And water vapour is form after the vapourization of water at high temperature.

Do all incandescent solids obey the fourth power law of temperature?

Yes, in principle, but only if their emissivity is independent of temperature. Generally, emissivity is a very weak function of temperature.


At what temperature does a real gas obey the ideal gas laws over a wide range of pressure?

Real gases behave most like ideal gases at high temperatures and low pressures.CASE 1 :- (At Higher Temperatures)when the temperature is high the kinetic energy of molecules increases and the intermolecular attractions among the atoms decreases.The volume of the gas molecules become negligible compared to volume of the vessel. therefore the real gases act like ideal At Higher Temperatures.CASE 2 :- (At Lower Temperatures)At low temperatures volume of the container is larger. therefore intermolecular attractive forces are negligible and the volume of the particles also become negligible compared with the volume of the vessel.therefore the real gases act like ideal At Lower Temperatures.


What are high temperature plastics used for?

The high temperature plastics can only be used from the temperature of 135 degree Celsius and lower. Many others thought that high temperature plastics meant that it can handle extremely high temperature but they are wrong.
