Gas Particles

Some Big Ideas about Gas Particles:

• ·        Gas is a form of matter.
• ·        Gas takes up space.
• ·        Gases are composed of individual particles that are not connected to other particles.
• ·        Gas particles are relatively far apart and in constant motion.
• ·        There is nothing between particles of gas except space.
• ·        They can be forced together through compression. 

Some important Vocab not to forget!!!

1. Compression is to reduce in volume/size due to applied force.
2. Expansion- to increase in volume or size
3. Contraction- to reduce in volume/size due to cooling
