Solution
| Ideal Gas | Real Gas |
| An ideal gas is a hypothetical gas that obeys all gas laws exactly under all temperature and pressure conditions. | A real gas is an actual gas that does not obey the gas laws exactly under all conditions. |
| The molecules have negligible volume. | The molecules have a definite volume. |
| There are no intermolecular forces between the molecules. | Intermolecular forces exist between the molecules. |
| It obeys the ideal gas equation PV = nRT exactly. | It deviates from PV = nRT, especially at high pressure and low temperature. |
| The ideal model cannot be liquefied. | A real gas can be liquefied by suitable changes in temperature and pressure. |
