Atoms and molecules bounce during collisions of any kind when they are in a solid, liquid or gas.
The word "bounce" when used to refer to atoms or molecules means that the have a collision that may be considered elastic.
This word "bounce" is not especially scientific. Instead one typically hears about colliions and those collisions are termed elastic or inelastic. If two chemical species are involved in a chemical reaction, then when they have a reactive collision, they do not bounce, but they exit the collision changed in some way. They exchange atoms or somehow exit the collision as one or two or more chemical species. Such collisions do not conserve kinetic energy.
What else can I help you with?
As gas particles bounce around and collide they spread to what?
As gas particles bounce around and collide, they spread to fill the available space of their container. This is because gas particles have high kinetic energy and move freely in all directions due to their random motion.
What would happen if two gas particles touched?
If two gas particles touched, they would simply bounce off each other due to their high kinetic energy and the repulsive forces between them. Gas particles are in constant motion and are very far apart, so there would be no real interaction beyond the elastic collision.
Gas particles can be assumed to travel in a straight line until they collide with an object?
yes, but since there are atoms and molecules in the atmosphere they bounce off of them and go in a different direction.
How does the behavior of the particles change as energy is added?
In microscopic scale such as gas particles, more energy is more to particles kinetics, it will move faster and bounce on surface at faster rate. It will resulted to higher pressure or more volume from expansion or the increase of temperature or all of 3 combined.
What makes a gas a gas and its not a liquid or a solid?
A gas is in a state of matter where its particles have enough energy to move around freely and are not held closely together. This allows gases to fill the entire volume of their container and take the shape of the container. In contrast, liquids and solids have particles that are more tightly packed and have stronger intermolecular forces, causing them to have a definite volume and shape.

What part of the atoms caused the particles to bounce?
The heavy, dense nucleus of the atom caused the alpha particles to bounce back in Rutherford's experiment.

yes, but since there are atoms and molecules in the atmosphere they bounce off of them and go in a different direction.
What happens to the distance between particles of a substance as it changes from a liquid to a gas?
The distance between particles increases as a substance changes from a liquid to a gas. In the gas phase, particles are spread far apart and move freely, leading to higher distances between them compared to the closer arrangement in the liquid phase.
How do you describe the movement particles in a solid a liquid and a gas?
In a solid particles vibrate and stay in one spot, however due to vibrating, they may move slightly. In liquids, they bounce around in a small area relitvly close to their "spot". In a gas, particles bounce around freely, moving around all of the given space. To relate , a solid's particles are like vibrating cell phone, staying in place. However gas's are like bouncy ball enclosed in a jar
What causes sand-sized particles to skip and bounce?

Do bigger balls bounce higher than small balls?
small balls will bounce higher because they have closer particles

What part of a atom causes particles to bounce back?
The positively charged nucleus of the atom, which contains protons and neutrons, is what causes particles to bounce back due to electrostatic repulsion. When an incoming particle has the same charge as the nucleus, such as another positively charged particle, they will repel each other, causing the incoming particle to bounce back.
What do particles constantly do with each other and the walls of their containers?
bounce and rebound against each other with a velocity dependent on the temperature.
