Gasses are a __________________

a large collection of particles that move in constant, random motion.

Gas particles move in __________________

in straight lines until they collide with each other or the wall of a container

The particles are very ____________

small, most of the volume of a container of gas is empty gas

Collisions between particles and container walls ________________________

are elastic, meaning no energy is lost from colliding

The average kinetic energy of gases ______________________________

depends on the temperature of the container, and nothing else

Vapor Pressue

the pressure of a vapor in contact with its liquid form
