Because the particles of the gas are in a state (sometimes called an excitable state) which allows random movement, they are vibrating and continually bouncing against each other, and moving faster if the gas is heated. Smoke rises from a fire because it is heated. Since the hotter particles are hitting their neighbours harder and faster the gas needs to take up more space. It expands. It also becomes lighter or less dense. it begins to rise, forming convection currents. Warm air rises; cold air sinks.

What does n represent in the ideal gas law?
number of moles of gas particles
How can the motions of particles in a solid be described?
The particles in a solid are closely locked in position and can only vibrate.
What is the difference between particles in a solid and particles in a gas?
The particles of a solid are attracted strongly to other particles around them locking them into a fixed position in which they may only vibrate but not move freely from one position to another. The particles of a gas are the opposite. Not strongly attracted, but move randomly about bouncing off of other gas particles. This allows the gas particles to move to any position, not just remain surrounded by the same few particles.
Do particles of solid have less energy than particles of a gas?
No,they don't because when the particles in gas ovecome the force of attraction they move more freely making the particles have more energy. Solid particles are tightly packed with a strong force of attraction making them have the least amount of energy compared to the other states(liquid and gas).
Simultaneous collisions of billions of gas particles with an object result in?
gas pressure is the result of simultaneous collisions of billions of gas particles with an object
A gas is best described by which of the following descriptions?
Presidential Reconstruction
The full range of energy in sunlight can best be described as?
The full range of energy in sunlight can best be described as electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation behaves as waves and also as particles called photons.
What is bigger gas particles or smoke particles?
smoke particles are bigger than gas particles.
Do lighter gas particles diffuse less rapidly than heavier gas particles?
No, heavier gas particles diffuse slower than lighter gas particles
Why dont particles in a solid move as freely as particles in a gas?
since the interaction forces or vander waal forces between the particles of solid is more more than that of gas so they dont.....thx...with best regards..
Why are the hot gas particles moving faster than cool gas particles?
Because hot gas particles have greater kinetic energy than cold gas particles
Does gas have fast moving particles?
yes. gas has the fastest moving particles and a solid has the slowest moving particles and particles in a liquid are moving faster than solid particles but not as fast as gas particles.
How can matter be described?
Matter can be described as the state of any substance in the universe there are five states of matter confirmed till now, That is gas, liquid, solid, plasma, and b.e.c. or Bose Einstein condensate, The changes in matter can be described by the increase or decrease in the movement of particles of mater or in the increasing or the decreasing in the intermolecular forces of attraction or by intermolecular spaces between the particles.
Why can the particles of gas change and the particles of solids not?
Particles of a solid are attached to each other, by chemical bonds. Particles of a gas are not.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves why?
For a sound wave traveling through air, the vibrations of the particles are best described as longitudinal.
What particles move independently of each other?
Gas particles move very fast because the particles are separated and have enough space to move around.
How the motions of gas particles are related to the pressure by the gas?
is motions of gas particles are related to the pressure exerted by the gas
