Give reason why the molecules of a gas move freely in the air?

Solution

The intermolecular forces in the gases are very weak.
Also, the gas molecules are always in random motion due to their kinetic energy.
The kinetic energy of gas molecules is greater than the attractive forces.
So they move freely in the air.
