The Nature of Gases
Low Density
Gas particles spread out so much farther from each other than as a liquid.
Compressibility
Gases can be compressed to a ___________ volume, due to the amount of space between particles. Eventually if pressure becomes too great, the gas can no longer be compressed or else the container will explode.
Expansion
Gases can fill any container to its entirety since particles are moving in all _____________ with very small attractive forces.
Diffusion
Due to high __________ energy and ___________ motion, gas particles spread out and mix with each other without being stirred. This is how scents can travel through a room.
Fluidity
Gases can easily _______ past each other due to very small attractive forces.
