I am trying to understand the limitations of the ideal gas law. I know it's a simplified model, but what exactly are its restrictions and under what conditions does it not apply?

At low temperatures, the ideal gas law fails to provide accurate results.

Extremely high pressures also render the ideal gas law inaccurate.

This is because, under these conditions, the molecular size and intermolecular forces become significant.
