PhysicsChapter 2: Thermal Expansion and Change of State
Gas
Gas particles move randomly with large separations and almost negligible attractions.
Learning objectives
- Define and explain gas.
- Apply gas to a focused FBISE question.
- Check the answer for correct terms, evidence, working, and units.
Definition
Gas particles move randomly with large separations and almost negligible attractions. A gas fills its container and is easy to compress. Heating raises the average kinetic energy of the particles.

WHAT — GAS
Gas particles move randomly with large separations and almost negligible attractions. A gas fills its container and is easy to compress. Heating raises the average kinetic energy of the particles.
HOW — Use the idea
Identify what is given, select this topic's rule or evidence, apply it one step at a time, and check the result.
In simple words
Do not merge gas with a neighbouring idea that uses a different definition, rule, or method.
