What is the behavior of particles in a gas?

Back

In a gas, particles are far apart and move freely, filling the entire volume of their container.

Front

What occurs during condensation?

Back

Condensation is the process where gas turns into a liquid as it loses thermal energy.

What happens to a gas when the container is opened?

Back

When the container is opened, gas particles will spread out and move into the surrounding space.
