8.1 Properties of Gases

  • The atmosphere is a sea of gases.

  • The behavior of gases is different than that of liquids.
    • A gas has no shape or volume and will fill any container.
  • The gas fills the entire volume of the container when it moves in random directions.
  • The small forces between the particles of a gas are attractive.
    • There are particles that are far apart and can fill a container of any size and shape.
  • The volume of the gas is the same as the volume of the container.
    • Gases can be easily compressed because most of the volume is empty.
  • Gas particles are moving quickly.
    • When gas particles collide, they travel in new directions.
  • The gas completely walls of the container exert pressure.
    • An increase in the number of col fills a container of any size and lisions against the walls of the container causes an increase in the pressure of the gas.
  • As the temperature increases, gas particles move faster.
    • Gas particles hit the walls of the container more often at higher temperatures.
  • Some of the characteristics of gases are explained by the kinetic molecular theory.
    • You can smell perfume when a bottle is opened on the other side of a room because its particles move rapidly in all directions.

    • They move more slowly at lower temperatures.
    • When temperatures are high, tires and containers can explode.
