1. Properties of Gases Expand to completely fill their container
Take the shape of their container
Low density
Much less than solid or liquid state
Compressible
Mixtures of gases are always homogeneous
Fluid
Chapter 6 2

2. Gas Laws – Kinetic Molecular Theory
All matter is composed of tiny discrete particles called molecules
Molecules in a gas are in rapid constant motion and move in straight lines
Molecules of a gas are tiny compared with distances between gas molecules
There is little attraction between molecules of a gas
Chapter 6

3. Molecules collide with each other, with energy being conserved in the collision
Temperature (T) is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules

5. Volume Relationships
Law of combining volumes – when all measurements are made at same temperature and pressure, volumes of gaseous reactants and products are in small whole-number ratio
