Why is Boyle's law only valid with low pressures?

Weak dielectric interactions cause atoms/molecules to repulse when they are in close proximity - i.e. due to high pressure. So at higher pressures the PV = constant1 doesn't hold true. read more

At high pressures , gases do not obey Boyle's law Because boyles law is the component of ideal gas equation . So , you can say boyles law is also another ideal gas equation . Boyles law assumed that force of attraction within the molecules are negligible and size of the molecules comparision to container is zero . At high pressures this is not true . read more

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature for a fixed mass, the absolute pressure and the volume of a gas are inversely proportional. The law can also be stated in a slightly different manner, that the product of absolute pressure and volume is always constant. read more
