Gas molecules can easily be compressed  because ___________. 

• gas molecules are soft
• gas molecules are far apart
• gas molecules follow the shape of the container

The kinetic theory states

• Particles won't move if you don't apply energy to it.

• Particles only move in liquids and gases.

• Particles are always in motion.

• At the same temperature the object that has the most mass heats quicker.
