Best Answer

A gas consists of particles having a rather loose molecular structure; the easiest way of saying it is that there's a lot of "empty space" between the molecules. When a gas is compressed (by pressure, or being led into a smaller chamber) these empty spaces are eliminated as the particles get closer to each other.
