Gases tend to behave ideally at:
A)low temperature and low pressure
B)low temperature and high pressure
C)high temperature and low pressure
D)high temperature and high pressure
E)gases always behave ideally

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At high temperatures and low pressures, the gas molecules have enough kinetic energy to overcome intermolecular forces and move freely. At the same time, the molecules are far apart and experience minimal interactions with each other. This combination of conditions allows gases to behave ideally. The other options (A, B, D, and E) represent conditions where the gas molecules either have too little or too much kinetic energy, or where the molecules are too close to each other and interact too strongly.
