Question

Which of the following are characteristic properties of gases?

• A. Gases are made up of tiny particles.
• B. Gases neither have fixed shape or volume.
• C. Gases exert presuure in all directions.
• D. high compressibility.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A

Gases are made up of tiny particles.

B

Gases neither have fixed shape or volume.

C

Gases exert presuure in all directions.

D

high compressibility.

Gases are made up of tiny particles which are moving in all possible directions.

Gases neither have fixed shape or volume as there is negligible force of attraction between the moolecules.

The moving particles of gases collide with each other and also the walls of the container and thus exert presuure in all directions.

There are very large inter-particle spaces which account for high compressibility of gases.
