Real Gases that Act like Ideal Gases
Some real gases act more similar to ideal gases 1. Small gases
Helium (He) and hydrogen (H) behave the most like ideal gases because they are very small.
2. High temperature and low pressure
In these conditions, the gas particles are spread very far apart, so they act more like ideal gases.
There are many Regents questions on this topic.
He acts so ideal even though He’s so small. He (Helium) and H (Hydrogen) act like ideal gases since they’re so small.
