The video tutorial introduces gases, highlighting their presence in everyday life, such as in chimneys, car exhausts, and balloons. It emphasizes the importance of gases like nitrogen and oxygen for survival. The properties of gases, including their lack of definite shape and volume, are explained. The behavior of gas particles, which move freely and adjust to container sizes, is discussed. Finally, the video demonstrates how the volume of gases can change under pressure, using a balloon as an example.
