gas theory

Gas theory explains how gases behave based on the idea that they are composed of tiny particles moving rapidly and randomly. These particles are spread out and constantly colliding with each other and the container walls. Their movement results in properties like pressure, temperature, and volume. When conditions change—such as increasing temperature or compression—particle behavior adjusts, affecting these properties. This theory helps us understand phenomena like why balloons expand when heated or how gases exert pressure, providing a scientific framework for predicting and explaining gas behavior in various situations.
