They move very,very fast past each other because they are all spread out which also means that they can cover a large area.

It all relates to kinetic theory (how particles move).

Gas particles can vibrate, rotate and translate in rapid, random movements.

Diffusion is the gradual mixing of molecules of one gas with molecules of another using their kinetic properties (ie. how the molecules move).

In this process, molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Rate of diffusion: although molecular speeds are high (ie. molecules move quickly), diffusion can be slow. This is because, in moving, gas molecules experience numerous collisions (ie. all movements are random, so they bump into each other and change directions), resulting in changes of direction, hence slowing down diffusion.
Gases move somewhat the way liquids do: they flow. However, unlike liquids gases expand to fill their containers.

I think its in bloods cells (red and white) you might need to check that one though oxygen and Carbon dioxide will be transported by the red blood cells, other gasses like Nitrogen wil be just desolved in the warter wheren the cells float in.
this is all I know there may be another way to transport gasses (except then for the lungs).

the particles of the gas is freely to move anywhere cuz it has no definite shape or volume

they move quite fast and they also spread out in a formless blob

Because the attraction between gas molecules is negligible so its easy for gas molecules to move free


Why does a gas expand quickest?

Gas expands the quickest because gas molecules are farther apart than molecules of other substances. Gas molecules also move faster.


What happens to a fluid when it heats?

When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules. When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules.

Yes.

Gas.


How do molecules move within a solid liquid and gas?

In a solid the molecules are tightly packed together all touching one another and vibrate; in a liquid the molecules are more loosely packed and more free to move around but they are still touching; in a gas the molecules are free to move where they please


When molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration they move with the?

molecules moves through concentration gradient .and molecules move either in the form of ions or gas in the medium


What does a molecule for solid liquid and gas look like?

In a solid, the molecules are very close and compact with very no space to move around. In a liquid the molecules have little space to move around, and in a gas, the molecules are very spaced out. The gas molecules move around a lot because they have so much space between and around them. Hope this helped..

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

Gas is a collection of gas phase particles that move around freely. The gas phase particles are ions, molecules or atoms.
