My textbook states that
regardless of what type of molecule it is
the same moles of different molecules take up the same volume
But why is this? Why doesn't the size of the molecule not factor into the volume? Why doesn't the fact that NH3 has 4 atoms and H2 has only 2 atoms affect either of their volumes and that 1 mol of NH3 = the same volume as 1 mole of H2?
