Water does not behave exactly like an ideal gas because water is a polar molecule. And, the polar molecules of water, if properly oriented in space, have strong attraction to one another, and may form a hydrogen bond and condense back into liquid form. Also, when a gaseous water molecule has a collision with liquid water, if it is oriented in the right way (i.e. an oxygen atom comes into contact with a hydrogen atom), it will move back into the liquid phase. So, because water molecules move back into the liquid phase much more easily than ideal gas molecules, water vapor does not behave exactly as an ideal gas would.

Water vapor deviates from ideal gas behavior at high pressures and low temperatures due to intermolecular forces like hydrogen bonding. These forces cause water vapor to have higher than expected compressibility and heat capacity compared to an ideal gas. Additionally, water vapor can condense into liquid water or freeze into ice, further complicating its behavior.

What volume is occupied by 150g of water vapor at STP?
At standard temperature and pressure (STP), the volume occupied by 150g of water vapor is approximately 67.2 liters. This can be calculated using the ideal gas law equation, assuming the molar mass of water is about 18 g/mol and the molar volume of an ideal gas at STP is 22.4 L/mol.
What is the gas state of water in two words?
You mean vapor?
What is the term for water vapor?
The term for water vapor is "gas." Water vapor is the gaseous state of water when it evaporates from liquid water.
Is water vapor a mixture or pure substance?
Water vapor is considered a pure substance because it is composed of molecules of only one type of substance, which is water.
Is there water in vapor?
Yes, vapor is the gaseous physical state of water
Is water an ideal fluid?
Ideal Fluid:An incompressible fluid that has no internal viscosity.
How Water vapor that is condensed into small droplets?
your question doesnt make sense idiot

What form of water is the most abundant at any time in the water cycle?
water vapor
What is the gas state of water in two words?
You mean vapor?
What do you called the hot gas or water vapor?
The process of water turning into gas (water vapor) is called evaporation.Heating water into water vapor is called boiling. High-temperature water vapor is called steam.The water has become water vapor.
What is water vapor is?
Water vapor is simply water in the form of a gas. Liquid water turns into water vapor through a process called evaporation.
What is the volume of water vapor?
The volume of water vapor can vary depending on temperature and pressure. At standard temperature and pressure (0°C and 1 atm), 1 mole of water vapor occupies about 30.6 L.
What does water vapor become when it evaporates?
when water evaporates it condenses and becomes water vapor:)
Is a water a vapor solid?
No. Water vapor is a gas.
Water vapor is water in the form of a?
Water vapor is water in the form of a gas.
What happen to the water in each process in water cycle?
(evaporation) water becomes vapor, (condensation)vapor is still vapor, (precipitation) vapor becomes water again...
