An ideal gas is a theoritical gas consisting of randomly moving particles.

The kinetic theory of ideal gases makes 5 main assumptions:

  1. The size of molecules is negligible compared with the mean intermolecular distance (i.e. they are widely spaced molecules).
  2. Molecules move with different speeds and in random directions.
  3. Standard laws of motion apply.
  4. Collisions between molecules are elastic. Translational kinetic energy is not converted into other forms of energy.
  5. There are no attractive intermolecular forces between molecules except during collision.

What take up space?

Particles dont take up space it is heat that gives particles energy to move and expand solids have smaller spaces between them liquids have larger spaces between them gases have the largest spaces between them


How are solid particles and liquid particles alike?

they all take up space and all have matter, mass, and weight


Does light take up space?

No, light does not take up physical space because it is made up of particles called photons that have no mass and do not occupy physical space.


How much space do solid particles take up?

That will vary from particle to particle.


What is in everything that takes up space?

Bosons, for example light particles (photons), don't take up space. Bosons and fermions are the two different classes of fundamental particles. Fermions take up space. Now particles with mass don't always take up space, for example the force carrier particles of the weak nuclear force, they are bosons and therefore take up no space but they are quite massive (for particles).


Is smoke occupy space?

Yes, smoke occupies space because it consists of tiny particles suspended in the air. These particles take up physical space within a confined area, displacing the air molecules around them.


How does the total volume of gas particles compare to the volume of the space between the gas?

The amount of space that gas particles can take up is the size of the container, but the amount between them also is determined by the amount of space the gas takes up.


Why smoke occupies space?

Smoke is a collection of tiny particles and gases that take up space as they spread out in the air. When smoke is present in a room, it fills up the available space because the particles are interacting with the air molecules and occupying that volume.


What is between tha gas particles?

In a gas, the space between gas particles is largely empty. The particles are far apart compared to their size, with a lot of space between them. This allows gas particles to move freely and independently of one another.


Do smoke occupies space?

Yes, they are very tiny solid particles dispersed in gasphase


Does space have any gas particles?

:Whilest "space" is but a vaccuum, there are still trace amounts of gas particles in the vast emptiness of that which we call "space." Take nebulae for instance, they are but giant collections of plasma particles, which are but a combination of gas and liquid. The accretion disks around black holes are made of plasma and gas as well. So in short, yes, there are particles of gas in space.


Why do gasses take up so much space?

because they need room for the particles to move around
