Best Answer

The properties of a gas, one of three classic states of matter, are:

No definite shape.

No definite volume.

All molecules move freely, in any direction, throughout the matrix.

This question is a bit vague. Gas has three characteristic properties:

1. They are generally easily compressed

2. They generally fill a much larger space than their base liquid or solid forms (With the understanding virtually all gasses can be cooled or compressed into liquid and even solid forms)

3. They expand to fill their surroundings.

Gases have a low density and viscosity, and are easily influenced by pressure and temperature.

General properties of gases are that they are highly compressible, easily expand to fill their containers, and occupy large spaces than liquids or solids. Gases can include the noble gases and gas mixtures like carbon dioxide.

A gas will change its volume to fill a container. i.e. the volume of the container is the volume of the gas.

gases make homogeneous mixtures with other gasses regardless of identities

equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain an equal number of molecules

the volume of a fixed amount of gas maintained at constant pressure is directly proportional to its absolute temperature

when gas has pressure put on it its volume decreases.

Highly compressible

large spacings between molecules compared to liquids and solids

Gases have a few different properties. These are that they take up more space then the other states, they expand to fill up containers they are put in, and they can be compressed.
