In the most general sense, all gases have the subatomic particles of protons, neutrons and electrons. What arrangements they happen to be in depend on what gas you happen to be observing at the time. For example, Hydrogen is a gas at room temperature, but does not have any neutrons. On the other extreme, something like carbon needs to be heated to much higher temperature to become a gas (assuming it doesn't get to burn and turn into carbon dioxide). Another logical level of consideration is: what is the gas made of? Is it a monatomic or diatomic gas (like oxygen or nitrogen), or is it a compound (like water or the much larger molecules of plastics, which can be extremely long)? In these cases, molecules or atoms would be the particles.

What does n represent in the ideal gas law?

In the ideal gas law, n represents the number of moles of gas present in the system. It is a measure of the quantity of gas particles and is used to calculate the amount of gas based on the number of moles rather than individual particles.


Which state of matter has the fastest moving particles?

Gas has the fastest moving particles among the states of matter. In a gas, the particles have more energy and move more quickly compared to particles in solids or liquids.


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).


How do the particles in a real gas deviate from ideal gas behavior?

The particles in a real gas deviate from ideal gas behavior due to interactions between the particles. In an ideal gas, the particles are assumed to have no volume and no interactions with each other. In a real gas, the particles have volume and can interact through forces such as van der Waals forces. These interactions can cause the gas to deviate from ideal behavior, especially at high pressures and low temperatures.


When the number of gas particles at constant pressure increases how will the volume of the gas chang?

When the number of gas particles at constant pressure increases, the volume of the gas will increase due to the additional collisions between the gas particles and the walls of the container. This causes the gas to take up more space to accommodate the increased number of particles.

Why are the hot gas particles moving faster than cool gas particles?

Because hot gas particles have greater kinetic energy than cold gas particles


Do gas particles move slower than solid particles?

No. Gas particles move much faster than solid particles.


What happens to gas particles when a gas is heated?

When a gas is heated, the kinetic energy of the gas particles increases. This causes the particles to move faster and farther apart, leading to an increase in pressure and volume. Heating a gas also increases the average speed of the gas particles.


What is bigger gas particles or smoke particles?

Gas particles are typically smaller than smoke particles. Gas molecules are individual atoms or small clusters of atoms that are very spread out and move freely. Smoke particles, on the other hand, are larger aggregates of solid or liquid particles that are suspended in the air.


Why can the particles of gas change and the particles of solids not?

The particles of gas have more energy and are less tightly packed than particles in solids. This allows gas particles to move freely and change position easily, while solid particles are held in a fixed position by strong intermolecular forces.


What are solid particles in gas called?

Solid particles in gas are called aerosols. These are tiny solid or liquid particles suspended in a gas, such as dust, smoke, or mist.


Do fast gas particles have low pressure?

becausse the particles in gas are far apart.


What kind of path do the particles of a gas follow?

Particles of a gas are in a disorderly motion (Brownian).


If the motion of 1 particle of a gas is unaffected by the motion of other particles of the gas unless the particles what?

Unless the particles collide


Which entity is measured by the movement of the gas particles in a vessel?

Temperature is measured by the movement of gas particles in a vessel. When the gas particles move faster, the temperature of the gas increases, and vice versa.


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 are the particles in the model different from real gas particles?
