Ideal gas assumption:no particle volume,no intermolecular forcesPressure high?Molecules' own volumebecomes significantnext to the containerGas resists compression:takes up MORE space thanpredicted — Z = PV/nRT > 1Temperature low?Intermolecular attractionsdominate the (now slower)particles' kinetic energyGas is MORE compressiblethan predicted — Z < 1 —and can condense to liquidBehaves nearly ideally:Z ≈ 1YesNoYesNo
