If you think at molecules, yes; it is a principle of the kinetic theory of gases.
If you think at solid-gas or liquid-gas colloids, powders in gases, mist, etc. it is possible but not mandatory.

Gas forms into an odour,so once it collides t forns an odour.

Why do gas particles collide with the walls of their container?
Pressure.
As gas particles bounce around and collide they spread to what?
Fill or Expand.
Which postulates of the kinetic molecular theory explain the observation that a sample of a gas with particles in rapid random motion does not cool down?
According to the kinetic molecular theory, gases consist of particles in constant random motion. Two postulates can explain why a sample of a gas does not cool down: First, the particles have a range of speeds, so while some may collide and transfer energy, others will collide and gain energy. Second, the average kinetic energy of the gas particles remains constant as long as the temperature is constant. Therefore, while collisions may occur and redistribute the energy, the overall average kinetic energy, and hence temperature, of the gas remains constant.
Are there no forces of attraction between the particles in gas?
There are. They include gluons, photons, and bosons, along with small amounts of gravity from gravitons.
What happens to the particles in a gas when the temperature increases?
The atoms or molecules of a gas will increase in kinetic energy when that gas is heated. Those atoms or molecules will exhibit an increase in their vibrational energy, and they will expand and move farther apart if they are not confined.
Do particles lose or gain energy when changing from a liquid to a gas?
They lose energy.
What happen-eds during condensation?
the particles in a gas lose enough thermal energy to form a liquid.
What happens when gas particles are increased in speed?
Gas particles are given more kinetic energy when they are heated, causing them to increase in speed. they move faster and collide more frequently.
How does a liquid to a gas?
When a gas is cooled the individual particles of the gas lose energy. As this energy is lost these particles start slowing down as they flow less. Once they have lost sufficient energy the particles come close enough together that they can be perceived as a liquid.
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
Why do gas particles collide with the walls of their container?
Pressure.
Do gas particles ever touch each other?
No, gas particles can touch each other when they collide.
What is a postulate of the kinetic-molecular theory?
all particles are always moving
What occures when particles in a gas lose enough thermal energy to form a liquid?
condensation
What definition occurs when particles in a gas lose enough energy to form a liquid?
Condensation.
When do gas particles change direction?
When they collide with other particles or a surface (wall of a tank).
How does gas explode?
Gasses in the atmosphere are given some energy (activation energy), this energy is used for the activation of the explosion. As a few gas particles react, they then have higher energy and as they collide into other air particles it causes them to react. This happens rapidly and thus an explosion occurs. I think. Think of it as an exothermic reaction, but uncontroled.
