all gases do not behave the same

molecule size is important when compared to distances

[MarkRosengarten]

@brianmenendez Yes, I know that all gas molecules are not the same...but under the Ideal Gas Law, we make the assumption that they are. Molecule size and attractive forces are the a and b constants in the van der Waal's equation (modification of PV=nRT)...but for high school chemistry, we make the assumption that all gases follow the Kinetic-Molecular Theory (Ideal Gas Behavior). Your comment will confuse hundreds of high school students, and I needed to clarify your point here.

Thank you so much for the clear and concise explanation! Now that I understand it, it seems so simple that it boggles me how I didn't understand it before!

Nice not to have a long-winded explanation for once. Thanks for the help!
