  1. Boyle: change volume while n and T stay fixed. Pressure varies inversely with volume.
  2. Charles: change absolute temperature while n and P stay fixed. Volume varies directly with temperature.
  3. Pressure–temperature: change absolute temperature while n and V stay fixed. Pressure varies directly with temperature.
  4. Avogadro: change amount while P and T stay fixed. Volume varies directly with amount. The particle icons represent relative amount, not a literal count of molecules.

About this model. The values obey the ideal gas law; real gases can deviate, especially near condensation or at high pressure. Particle paths, collisions, sizes, and wall speed are qualitative illustrations, not a molecular dynamics calculation.
