Because of diffusion. (molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration)

As heat is put into a gas, the molecules gain energy and move faster and faster (the temperature goes up). The faster they move the less the intermolecular forces become so the further they can move away from each other

Gases do expand, but they also contract (get smaller and more compressed) depending on the surrounding gas pressure(the force a gas produces on the objects that are inside the gas) so that the two pressures are equal to each other. For example, if the gas pressure in a balloon is more than the air pressure(the pressure of the gas of the air) the gas inside the balloon will expand.

Yes, it does. This is because the molecules move around the most and are more free to move since gas has no definite volume

*if its volume is not limited by anything

*when its temperature goes up and having above statement, it expands faster.

Yes; this is one of the basic properties of a gas.

yes they do because their molecules move at high speed

Gaz Expand when heated (Charles' Law) or the pressure is reduced (Boyle's Law without heat participation).

What happens to a gas when you heated?

Applying heat to a gas will make it expand. If the volume of the gas is restricted (i.e. it cannot expand) then the pressure will increase.

Do gas expand on heating?

yes


Does gas expand on hot days?

No. a gas does not expand on a hot day because all of the chemicals compress in order to keep it the size and shape


What will happen to the particles of a gas if the gas is transferred from a small a large container?

The gas will expand and the air pressure will decrease because the gas will have more room to move. Gas has no definite shape or volume so it is always trying to expand and move and the higher the temperature the more the energy the gas has to expand.


Is there any gas that does not expand when heated?
