Gas particles
Have a large amount of energy. These particles collide with enough force and pressure to push the particles far apart so that they can escape the attraction of the other surrounding particles. Gas particles have the most amount of energy of any "regular" phase of matter. All these particles will naturally move from one area of high concentration to another area of very low concentration,and diffusion.
Gases
Gases are always described by the Kinetic Theory of Gases, which means they
are molecules of no particular size or stickiness, and move random
Gases have mean free paths which are much larger than molecular
diameters,which means they are usually isolated from each other, but sometimes may even have collisions
The state of a gas is universally, if not,approximately, described
by the Ideal Gas Equation of State.
