Question

Which of these statements are characteristic of matter in the gaseous state? gases fill their containers completely. gases exert pressure. gases have mass. the pressure of a gas is independent of its temperature. gases are compressible. the distances between particles in a gas are relatively large?

Answer 1

Te characteristics of matter in the Gaseous state are :
1) Gases fill their containers completely
2) Gases exert pressure
3) Gases have mass
4) Gases are compressible
Kinetic-Molecular Theory of Gases, Rule 1 states that Gas particles are extremely small and have relatively large distances between them.
