1st answer: It has a leak of attraction

improved answer: their molecules have very little attraction for one another
The little tiny molecules in the gas have lots of energy, and are whizzing around in side, lets say, a balloon. The molecules bounce of the inside of the balloon, forcing the rubber out. This is why balloons don't collapse after you have blown them up.
The force of attraction between gas molecules is low, the density is also low.
