According to the ideal gas law, the volume of individual gas particles is assumed to be zero. Of course, this isn't possible; all matter has volume. However, if we assume they have zero volume (along with collisions which are 100% elastic and statistically random motion) it makes the math a lot easier.

Is the volume of a gas a result of gas particles pushing on the walls of a container true or false?
If the container is rigid, then its volume cannot change. However, if more gas particles are pushing on the walls, then it is the pressure that is changing.
Do particles in a gas fill the bottom of their containers regardless of the shape or volume of the container?
No. The particles in a gas spread out and completely fill their entire container, regardless of the shape or volume of the container.
Which sample would have a larger volume Suppose that you have two gas samples gas A and gas B . The sample of gas A has twice as many particles as gas B . Which sample would have a larger volume?
The gas A has larger volume (x2).
Why would it difficult to measure gas?
a solid in gas and liquid in gas solutions are diffiuclt to obtain because it is difficult for these solute particles to be individually dispersed in a gas medium. the particles are usually in clusters of collodial size.
When the volume and number of particles of a gas are constant is also constant?
The temperature and pressure.
How does the design of gas particles explain why gases have no definite volume?
the gas
Can the particles in gas be compressed into smaller volume?
Yes, a gas can be easily compressed.
What is a postulate of the kinetic-molecular theory?
all particles are always moving
Is the volume of a gas a result of gas particles pushing on the walls of a container true or false?
If the container is rigid, then its volume cannot change. However, if more gas particles are pushing on the walls, then it is the pressure that is changing.
The greater the speed gas particles in a container the?
The greater the speed of gas particles in a container, the higher the overall average temperature and kinetic energy of the gas particles. And if volume was held constant, higher the pressure.
Do particles in a gas fill the bottom of their containers regardless of the shape or volume of the container?
No. The particles in a gas spread out and completely fill their entire container, regardless of the shape or volume of the container.
What volume does 1 mole of gas particles occupy at stp?
molar volume
How does the total volume of gas particles compare to the volume of the space between the gas?
The amount of space that gas particles can take up is the size of the container, but the amount between them also is determined by the amount of space the gas takes up.
When the pressure on a gas is released its volume goes?
when the pressure on a gas is released it changes volume because all of the particles spread about
Why can the vulume of a gas change and the solid of a remain constaant?
In a solid,particles are packed tightly to each other while the gas particles are not packed tightly. So the gas particles can be compressed and can change the volume. Solids cannot be compressed to change the volume.
When the number of gas particles at constant pressure increases how will the volume of the gas chang?
If the space in which the gas is inside doesn't change, the volume of gas doesn't change
When the number of gas particles at constant pressure increases how will the volume of the gas change?
If the space in which the gas is inside doesn't change, the volume of gas doesn't change
