That depends. If the gas particle is heavier than the surrounding ones, it will typically fall and be close to the ground. Hydrogen, being the lightest, goes up. Gas particles go in every direction, generally.

In what direction do gas particles travel?
they are very far apart and moves randomly at high speedthey move freely and they are molecules you can't seeQuickly and randomly.Gases have low density; there are few molecules per volume because they're moving around so much.
Unlike in an ideal gas in a real gas A. all particles move in the same direction B. all particles have the same kinetic energy C. the particles cannot diffuse D. particles exert attractive forces?
D. particles exert attractive forces on each other
What does n represent in the ideal gas law?
number of moles of gas particles
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).
What paths do particles of gas travel in?
Gas particles move randomly in all possible directions and travel in a straight path.
Which travel faster smoke or gas particles?
gas particals
When do gas particles change direction?
When they collide with other particles or a surface (wall of a tank).
What is needed for a sound to travel?
Particles, e.g gas particles in air, because sound travels through the vibration of particles. Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum, as there are no particles.

S waves?
seismic waves thta shakes particles at right angles to the dircetion that they travel
How do the particles of energy in a longitudinal wave move?
In a longitudinal wave, the particles do not move with the wave. The particle movement is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the particles move left and right which in turn makes the other particles start to oscillate. This creates a wave. longitudinal pressure waves are also known as sound waves.
Are the particles in gas can only vibrate from side to side?
No, they can move in any direction.
What direction do sound waves travel?
It depends if its transverse or longitudinal.
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.
What waves is a primary wave?
Cause rock particles to vibrate in same direction that waves travel
Is a sound travel ina vacue?
No, sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Sound moves by vibrating particles of a solid, liquid, or a gas. Since there are no particles in a vacuum, sound cannot travel through it.
