: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 can gas particles spread out to fill any space?

Gas particles have high kinetic energy, allowing them to move freely and rapidly in all directions. Without strong intermolecular forces to hold them together, gas particles can easily diffuse and fill up any container or space available to them. This behavior is in accordance with the principles of the kinetic molecular theory.


What happens to particles in a gas?

Particles are spread out to the maximum of the space available.


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.


What what do the particles of gas have between them?

empty space


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.


What is formed when no gas particles exist in a space?

a vacuum


Explain why a gas has no definite shape and no definite volume?

A gas has no definite shape because its particles move freely and easily, filling the entire space of its container. It has no definite volume because the particles are widely spaced and can expand or contract to fill any volume available to them.


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.


Is a compressible a liquid or a gas or a solid?

Gas can be compressed because the particles are far apart and have enough space to move into, solid and liquids particles have no space to move into! Hope this helps!


Which state of matter do the particles fill all available space?

The state of matter in which particles fill all available space is gas. Gas particles are loosely packed and move freely, filling the entire volume of their container.


What is a characteristic a gas?

The particles are spread out, free to move. A gas will fill the space it is introduced into.


Can gas exist in space?

Yes, gas can exist in space. The interstellar medium, which fills the vast majority of space, consists of gas and dust particles. Stars are also made up of gases like hydrogen and helium. However, since space is a vacuum, these gas particles are very spread out compared to the atmosphere on Earth.
