The ideal gas law fails at high pressures for real gases due to intermolecular forces and the compressibility of non-ideal gases. At elevated pressures, the interactions between gas molecules become significant, leading to deviations from ideal behavior. Additionally, quantum effects, particularly the Pauli exclusion principle and the indistinguishability of particles, further complicate the behavior of gases under these conditions.
