as far as I am aware all particles are made of molecules which in turn are made of atoms which again in turn are made of protons, electrons and neutrons, going further the protons and neutrons are made of quarks, electrons are a fundamental particle and therefore not made of anything.

However, there are some gases, the noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon) that are found naturally as single atoms. Therefore, particles of a gases might be "molecules" or "atoms," depending on the gas.

What is heat transfare in gases called?

Heat transfer in gases is called convection. It is the process by which heat is transferred through the movement of fluid (gas or liquid) particles. Convection occurs when hot air rises and cold air sinks, creating circulation and transferring heat in the process.


Why can gravity pull on the suspended particles and gases in the air?

Gravity pulls on all objects with mass, including suspended particles and gases in the air. The force of gravity causes these particles and gases to be attracted towards the Earth's center, giving rise to phenomena such as sedimentation and atmospheric pressure.

Are air particles smaller than that of gas particles?

Air particles are gas particles. Some gas particle are larger than others, and the nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2) that make up 99% of our atmosphere are rather large, which is why lighter gases, such as hydrogen (H2) and helium (He) rise.
