1. Is there a difference between a "classical ideal gas" and an
"ideal gas of classical particles"?
My reasoning for thinking the answer might be yes is that it seems to
me there are 3 relevant length scales: the thermal de Broglie length
(L), the size of a gas particle (R), and the average distance between
gas particles (D).
classical ideal gas: one for which D >> L [a]
ideal gas of classical particles: one for which R >> L [b]
