They really don't. Gas is the least dense state of matter, so the molecules are very spread out. By very spread out i mean still within nanometers of eachother. Unless your talking about an explosion, in which they would, and that is according to the basic laws of physics, every action has a equal and opposite reaction etc etc.

What do the particles in a gas do?

they move freely around


Can the particles of a solid move around?

Yes, the particles of a solid can vibrate in place but cannot move around freely like particles in a liquid or gas.


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.


How are the particles in a liquid different from the particles in a solid?

a gas have no definite shape so the particles can move around freely but in a liquid ,which has a definite shape, particles move around but are restricted


A gas is a collection of what that move about freely?

A gas is a collection of molecules or atoms that move about freely in all directions. They have high kinetic energy and are continuously colliding with each other and the walls of their container, creating pressure.


How are the particles in a solid arranged differently from those in a liquid?

a gas have no definite shape so the particles can move around freely but in a liquid ,which has a definite shape, particles move around but are restricted


Why the particles in a gas move freely?

Just because they can


Why can particles in a gas move freely?

Just because they can


Does a gas have particles that are held rigidly in place?

NO! gas particles move around freely and zoom all over the place. ice is made of rigid particles which is why it is a solid. a liquid is made up of s l o w l y moving particles, which is why it can move freely.


Why do gas move freely?

Gases move freely because there are more spaces between particles of gases.So they can move easily.


Are there particles in gas?

Yes, and they move freely and fill up the space that is around them unlike in a solid were the particles are tight and compacted in a fixed position. You cannot see the particles.


Particles in a liquid move around just as freely as particles in a solid?

Solid: Locked in a crystaline structure, however they do vibrate slightly. Liquid: Particles are attracted to one another but can flow freely. Gas: Particles move with total freedom.
