Overview of Temperature and Kinetic Theory

Translational Motion of Helium

Translational Motion of Helium

Real gases do not always behave according to the ideal model under certain conditions, such as high pressure. Here, the size of helium atoms relative to their spacing is shown to scale under 1950 atmospheres of pressure.
