Representative Gases & Properties of Gases <i>1. State the five assumptions of the Kinetic-Molecular Theory of gases.</i> a) Gases consist of large numbers of tiny particles. These particles, usually molecules or atoms, typically occupy a volume about 1000 times larger than occupied by the same number of particles in the liquid or solid state. Thus molecules of gases are much further apart than those of liquids or solids. Most of the volume occupied by a gas …showed first 75 words of 1538 total…

What is an ideal gas? When does a real gas behave like an ideal gas?</i> An ideal gas is a gas that fits the kinetic molecular theory perfectly. Noble gases tend to behave like an ideal gas. Real gases behave like an ideal gas when it fits the 5 assumptions of KMT.
