terms:ideal_gas
A gas which obeys the general gas law perfectly (PV = NRT). The term implies
(1) atomic-sized gas particles,
(2) the molecules are in random motion and obey Newton's laws of motion,
(3) the total number of molecules is large,
(4) the volume of the molecules is a negligibly small fraction of the volume occupied by the gas,
(5) no appreciable forces act on the molecules except during a collision, and
(6) collisions are elastic and are of negligible duration.
