The ideal gas equation PV = nRT assumes that gas molecules have no volume of their own and exert no attractive or repulsive forces on each other. Real gases deviate from this because of (i) intermolecular attractive forces, which pull molecules together and reduce the pressure they would otherwise exert, and (ii) the actual finite volume occupied by the gas molecules themselves.
