Particles in an ideal gas…• have no (very small) volume.• have elastic collisions. • are in constant, random, straight-

line motion.• don’t attract or repel each other.• have an avg. KE directly related to

Kelvin temperature.

C. Characteristics of C. Characteristics of GasesGasesC. Characteristics of C. Characteristics of GasesGasesGases expand to fill any container.

• random motion

Gases are fluids (like liquids).

Gases have very low densities.• lots of empty space

• lots of empty space

Gases undergo diffusion & effusion.• random motion

Volume- The space occupied by the gas. They have an indefinite volume, they will fill any container.

Units of measure: L liter or ml milliliter

At STP, one mole of gas occupies 22.4 L of volume
