Negligible

What is average kinetic energy of gas molecules proportional to?

Temperature on Kelvin scale

What does kinetic theory assume about forces between gas molecules?

No attractive or repulsive forces

Which molecules are given as examples of having attractive intermolecular forces?

Under what conditions do real gases behave most like ideal gases?

High temperature and low pressure

What is an ideal gas?

Obeys all kinetic theory assumptions

Why do real gases depart from ideal behaviour?

Forces exist and volume significant

When does molecular volume become significant in real gases?

At very high pressure

What happens to real gases at extremely low temperatures like −273°C-273°C?

They become liquids

Very close to ideal gases
