Gas molecules are attracted to each other by gravitic force, just like every other particle with mass. The gas molecules are kept from crashing into each by the energy that results in Brownian motion . . . that is, molecules move about very quickly and sort of like a wasp or hornet's motion.

∙ 12y agoGas molecules are only weakly attracted to each other, which is why they move independently and form a gas. If they were more strongly attracted to each other they would form a liquid or a solid.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes. Gas molecules have mass and therefore energy. They are thus subject to the force of gravity along with everything else.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo they are NOT. They are not attracted to each other because their particles are too lose.

Wiki User
∙ 6y agoYes. The forces must be so weak that the particles don't stay attached to one another; otherwise you would have a liquid or a solid.

A real gas differs from an ideal gas because the molecules of real gas have?
The molecules of real gas have some volume and some attraction for each other.
How can you show that gas have least inter molecular force of attraction?
When gas is released in a container the gas molecules spread all over the container and show that they have least force of attraction.
What would make gas non ideal?
The gas molecules interact with one another
Describe how molecules move in fluid?
Molecules, due to constant thermal motion, enables them to move from one region to another with a velocity that depends on their mass, shape, the temperature and viscosity of the medium. Brownian motion is also a factor - this is where the bombardment of the molecules are taken into consideration (colliding with one another).
How a solid is formed by reaction between gas and gas?
Whether a substance is a solid, a liquid, or a gas depends on the nature of the bonds within the substance, the strength of attraction between molecules, and the size of the molecules. When a chemical reaction occurs, these bonds are reconfigured, sometimes leading to a change of state. For example, hydrogen chloride (HCl) and ammonia (NH3) are both gasses at room temperature. The attraction between molecules is farily strong, but not enough to keep such small molecules in a liquid or solid stateat room temperature. When they meet, they react, forming ammonion chloride: NH3 + HCl --> NH4Cl. This is an ionic compound, with a strong attraction between ammonium ions (NH4+) and chloride ions (Cl-). So, instead of forming discreet molecules, they arrange into a solid crystal lattice. Another reaction is that between silane (SiH4) and oxygen (O2), both are gasses with very weak attraction between molecules. The reaction then proceeds like this: SiH4 + 2O2 --> SiO2 + 2H2O Instead of forming simple molecules, the silica (SiO2) forms a covalent network where very silicon atom is bonded to four oxygen atoms, and every oxygen atom is bonded to two silicon atoms.
Why does gas take up a lot of space?
1st answer: It has a leak of attractionimproved answer: their molecules have very little attraction for one anotherThe little tiny molecules in the gas have lots of energy, and are whizzing around in side, lets say, a balloon. The molecules bounce of the inside of the balloon, forcing the rubber out. This is why balloons don't collapse after you have blown them up.The force of attraction between gas molecules is low, the density is also low.
The attraction forces between gas molecules lead to?
The attraction forces between gas molecules are very small,but it could be increased by applying high preesure and low temperature. Thus it could be concluded that attraction between gas molecules leads to its liquifaction.
Why gas have maximum freedom to move?
Because the attraction between gas molecules is negligible so its easy for gas molecules to move free
Gases take up a lot of space because?
their molecules have very little attraction for one another. or for some other question Gases take up so much space because their molecules spread out to fill their space and like to be far apart from each other.
A real gas differs from an ideal gas because the molecules of real gas have?
The molecules of real gas have some volume and some attraction for each other.
How can you show that gas have least inter molecular force of attraction?
When gas is released in a container the gas molecules spread all over the container and show that they have least force of attraction.
For ideal gas force of attraction between molecules?
In an ideal gas there is no attarcation between molecules. There is no such thing as an ideal gas it is a model that approximates the behaviour of real gases.
Is the attraction in particles stronger in liquids then solids?
Forces of attraction have a stronger effect on the behavior of liquid particles.
How do molecules behave during the solid liquid and gas phases?
When an object is solid, molecules get packed in a place. They cannot move freely. The force of attraction is great. So it gives the object a solid shape. When the object is liquid, molecules Move A little bit freely, so the force of attraction is less when the object is liquid. And when the object is gas, the molecules move very freely. They bump onto each other. The force of attraction is very very very less. That's why, gases move freely and go away.
Why gas particles are far away?
Because the force of attraction among the molecules are less, moreover vanderwall force of attraction is also weak.
What best describes the molecules of an ideal gas?
no volume, no intermolecular force of attraction, perfectly elastic collisions
Why are oxygen and nitrogen gases at room temperature?
The reason why these elements form gases at room temperature is that the diatomic molecules that they both form have relatively little attraction for eachother, and therefore they move independently, which creates a gas.
