Re: ideal gases
An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that does not have any intermolecular attractive forces, does not take up space, and obeys the ideal gas law.

Re: ideal gases
Adding on to that, most gases are not "perfectly" ideal but they're close enough to the ideal. Gases with large volumes, a high pressure, or a very low temperature can cause deviations from this ideal.

Re: ideal gases
Ideal gases must follow the gas laws. They have no interaction and take up no volume.

Re: ideal gases
To be an ideal gas, a gas must have no volume, have no intermolecular forces between each other, move randomly, and have perfectly elastic collisions with the walls of the container (no energy loss). I don't think ideal gases exist in reality, but they are a good model to use when calculating values using the ideal gas law (PV = nRT) as long as the pressure is not too high and the temperature is not too low.
Re: ideal gases
Ideal gas molecules do not attract or repel each other.
Ideal gas molecules themselves take up no volume.
Ideal gas molecules themselves take up no volume.

Re: ideal gases
Ideal Gases have no mass and do not have any attractive force between them unlike a real gas which has attractions between molecules.

Re: ideal gases
Something is an ideal gas if it does not take up volume and has no intermolecular attractive forces.

Re: ideal gases
Ideal gases do not take up space/volume, and don't have any interaction (no intermolecular forces of attraction). They have to satisfy/follow the (ideal) gas laws essentially.

Re: ideal gases
Ideal gases have: elastic collisions between molecules, have no definite volume, and have molecules that are completely independent from one another.
On the other hand, real gases have: non-elastic collisions between molecules, have a definite volume, and have molecules that exert force on one another
