Why isn't the interaction of thearen't interactions between molecules with the walls of the container (in an ideal gas) assumed and walls of container negligible?

In the ideal gas  , the volume of the atoma molecule and the interactioninteractions between the molecules are assumed to be negligible , but why isn't. Why aren't the interaction ofinteractions between the molecules withand the walls of the container assumed to be negligible? Why is itare they much larger than thatthose between molecules??
