Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are all rock planets. The more technical term is terrestrial planets and they are composed of almost entirely of rock and metal. Each has a tiny amount of atmospheric gas and Earth has a tiny amount of liquid water.
The other four planets are the gas giant planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. That means they do not have a solid surface that is visible and much of the mass of the planet is the gaseous material. (All must have some small inner region consisting of rocky material, even if it is a tiny fraction of the mass that has been collected from stray asteroids.)
The two gas giants closest to the Sun, Jupiter and Saturn, are the two largest in the solar system with Jupiter the largest of all. Both are composed mainly of hydrogen and helium.
The outermost gas giants are called ice giants. Being colder, Uranus and Neptune have formed with substantial quantities of water, ammonium and methane with smaller amounts of hydrogen and helium in the outer regions. The water, ammonium and methane are solid at these temperatures, so the center of these planets is primarily frozen gasses with hydrogen and helium being predominant as an atmosphere.

∙ 15y agoAt room temperature, mercury is a liquid. Hence the question of ideal gas does not arise at room temperature.
There is no such thing as an ideal gas. Hence literally, mercury is not an ideal gas.
However, if the temperature of any material in the gaseous state is high enough such that there is minimal interaction between the atoms/molecules of the gas, and the behaviour of the gas is mostly described by the random collisions of the atoms, then the gas can be APPROXIMATELY considered as an ideal gas.

Is argon gas an ideal gas?
Strictly speaking no, as an ideal gas is simply a theoretical device. Though it can be treated as an ideal gas to an extent.
What is an imaginary gas that conforms perfectly to the kinetic molecular theory callled?
That's called an "ideal gas". The behavior of real gases is quite similar to an ideal gas, except when the pressure is too high, or the temperature too low.That's called an "ideal gas".

Can an ideal gas turn into a solid?
An ideal gas is an abstraction - a simplification. No real gas behaves exactly like an "ideal gas". The reason an ideal gas is used is because (a) the math is simpler, and (b) this is close enough for real gases, in many cases. Thought this is often not stated explicitly, we can safely assume that an "ideal gas" is supposed to remain a gas, regardless of the temperature and pressure.
What are examples of ideal gases?
An ideal gas is a gas that follows all the gas laws perfectly. An ideal gas is only a theoretical concept though. In order to have an ideal gas, the gas molecule must have no mass and absolutely no interaction with any other molecule. Several gases come close to this ideal (such as Helium), but none of them can fully achieve it.
The internal energy of an ideal gas depends on?
The one and only macroscopic thermodynamic property that the internal energy of an ideal gas depends on is its temperature.
Is hydrogen a ideal gas?
No, no real gas is actually an ideal gas.
Why cant a gas be an ideal gas?
There are ideal gases..

What is the R in the ideal gas law?
the ideal gas constant D:

Is krypton an ideal gas?
No. Krypton gas is an element and therefore a pure substance.

How did the ideal gas law contribute to the gas law?
All gas laws are absolutely accurate only for an ideal gas.
Diff between real gas and ideal gas?
In an ideal gas molecules interact only elastically.
What is mercury's gas giant?
Mercury doesn't have a gas giant.
What is retained by gas particles involved in elastic collisions?
Ideal Gas.
For ideal gas force of attraction between molecules?
In an ideal gas there is no attarcation between molecules. There is no such thing as an ideal gas it is a model that approximates the behaviour of real gases.
