Why does strong repulsion between molecules not represent an ideal gas behavior?

The ideal gas laws are based on a model in which the ideal gas is composed of molecules which neither attract nor repel each other. The pressure that the ideal gas exerts on its container is simply the result of the random thermal motion of the molecules and the continual collisions which result from that random thermal motion. If the molecules also repelled each other, then they would produce a gas with even higher pressure, and the pressure would also increase more rapidly, if the gas was compressed, than it does in the absence of such repulsion. The observed behavior of real gases is much closer to that of an ideal gas that does not include repulsion between molecules. No such repulsion has been observed.

What does the dotted line between the water molecules represent?
The circles are actually the letter "O". O is the symbol for Oxygen.
What force keeps two atoms together?
Atoms are held together by intramolecular forces and molecules by intermolecular forces. To distinguish between the two think of molecules as being different countries and therefore them being international.Or in computer terms where a closed network is a lan between different computers (atoms) is a intranet.While the internet is these lans (groups of computers) molecules connected to each other.
Why compressibility factor graph of hydrogen is always positive?
due to the lack of polarity in the hydrogen molecule as a result of it containing two of the same atom, and also the dominant force between the hydrogen molecules is the repulsion force, that tends to increase the volume
What are repelled in the VSEPR teory?
The repulsion is between valence electrons.
What is a force of attraction between two objects even if they are not touching?
It could be electromagnetic attraction (or repulsion).
What is the attractive forces between like molecules?
Cohesive force is the attractive force between like molecules. Cohesive forces are also known as intermolecular forces and can also be repulsion forces.
How does a lone pair distort the molecualr shape?
The lone pair creates repulsion between the molecules attached to it and distorts the shape.
Why does the repulsion between lone pairs are stronger than the repulsion between bonding pairs or between one bonding pair and a lone pair?
The repulsion between lone pairs are stronger than the repulsion between bonding pairs between one bonding pair and lone pair due to electrostatic interactions.
What is an electrostatic force of repulsion?
That's the force of repulsion between two positive charges; or between two negative charges.
What is between like charges?
"repulsion"
What are the characteristics of an ideal gas?
1. Elastic Collision (no loss of kinetic energy when molecules hit) 2. Constant, rapid, and random motion 3. No attraction or repulsion between molecules (electromagnetic forces don't effect the collisions)
What is the difference between repulsion and non-attraction?
there the same
What is the difference between repulsion and non attraction?
there the same
What does the dotted line between the water molecules represent?
The circles are actually the letter "O". O is the symbol for Oxygen.
What is electic force?
The attraction or repulsion between electric charges.
What is The force of repulsion or attraction between poles of magnets?
Magnetism
