1. Kinetic Theory Of Gases

   Linked via "van der Waals equation of state"

   Perfectly Elastic Collisions: Assumes no energy is lost as rotational vibration or internal molecular distortion during impacts.
   When these assumptions break down—specifically at high pressures (where volume becomes significant) or low temperatures (where weak van der Waals forces become relevant)—the predictions of the theory deviate markedly from experimental observation. This led to the development of the van der Waals equation of state, which incorporates …

2. Van Der Waals Forces

   Linked via "van der Waals equation of state"

   Role in Condensed Matter and Phase Transitions
   The cumulative effect of van der Waals forces dictates whether a substance exists as a gas, liquid, or solid at a given temperature and pressure. In the gaseous state (as described by the van der Waals equation of state), these forces introduce a correction term related to the effective volume excluded by [molecular interactions](/entries/molecu…
