What are the Properties of Gases?

“Ideal” gases have those properties according to the tenets of Kinetic-Molecular Theory:

Properties of Gases:

1. Gases have an indefinite shape.

2. Gases have low densities.

3. Gases can be compressed.

4. Gases will expand to fill their container.

5. Gases mix completely with other gases in the

same container.

Kinetic-Molecular Theory:

-Gases are made up of very tiny molecules (particles have negligible volume).

– Gas molecules demonstrate rapid motion in straight lines and in random directions.

– Gas molecules have no attraction for one another.

– Gas molecules undergo perfectly elastic collisions.

– The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to the Kelvin temperature: K.E. ∝ T.
