In the most general sense, all gases have the subatomic particles of protons, neutrons and electrons. What arrangements they happen to be in depend on what gas you happen to be observing at the time. For example, Hydrogen is a gas at room temperature, but does not have any neutrons. On the other extreme, something like carbon needs to be heated to much higher temperature to become a gas (assuming it doesn't get to burn and turn into carbon dioxide). Another logical level of consideration is: what is the gas made of? Is it a monatomic or diatomic gas (like oxygen or nitrogen), or is it a compound (like water or the much larger molecules of plastics, which can be extremely long)? In these cases, molecules or atoms would be the particles.

What does n represent in the ideal gas law?
number of moles of gas particles
What is the difference between particles in a solid and particles in a gas?
The particles of a solid are attracted strongly to other particles around them locking them into a fixed position in which they may only vibrate but not move freely from one position to another. The particles of a gas are the opposite. Not strongly attracted, but move randomly about bouncing off of other gas particles. This allows the gas particles to move to any position, not just remain surrounded by the same few particles.
Do particles of solid have less energy than particles of a gas?
No,they don't because when the particles in gas ovecome the force of attraction they move more freely making the particles have more energy. Solid particles are tightly packed with a strong force of attraction making them have the least amount of energy compared to the other states(liquid and gas).
Simultaneous collisions of billions of gas particles with an object result in?
gas pressure is the result of simultaneous collisions of billions of gas particles with an object
If collisions between gas particles and between particles and container walls were not elastic collisions what would happen to a gas?
This is not an ideal gas and gas laws are are only approximately applicable.
What is bigger gas particles or smoke particles?
smoke particles are bigger than gas particles.
Do lighter gas particles diffuse less rapidly than heavier gas particles?
No, heavier gas particles diffuse slower than lighter gas particles
Why are the hot gas particles moving faster than cool gas particles?
Because hot gas particles have greater kinetic energy than cold gas particles
Does gas have fast moving particles?
yes. gas has the fastest moving particles and a solid has the slowest moving particles and particles in a liquid are moving faster than solid particles but not as fast as gas particles.
Why can the particles of gas change and the particles of solids not?
Particles of a solid are attached to each other, by chemical bonds. Particles of a gas are not.
What particles move independently of each other?
Gas particles move very fast because the particles are separated and have enough space to move around.
How the motions of gas particles are related to the pressure by the gas?
is motions of gas particles are related to the pressure exerted by the gas
Do gas particles move slower than solid particles?
No. Gas particles move much faster than solid particles.
What form of gas has particles that move freely?
Gas is the form, there is no form of gas, the particles in gas move freely, they actually vibrate.
What does n represent in the ideal gas law?
number of moles of gas particles
If the motion of 1 particle of a gas is unaffected by the motion of other particles of the gas unless the particles what?
Unless the particles collide
Do fast gas particles have low pressure?
becausse the particles in gas are far apart.
