The Gaseous State (866 words) |
 | Gases consist of small molecules that are in constant random motion. |
 | The rates of diffusion (mixing) of two gases under identical conditions is inversely proportional to the square root of their molar masses. |
 | Equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules. |

Gas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (358 words) |
 | Like liquids and plasmas, gases are fluids: they have the ability to flow and do not tend to return to their former configuration after deformation, although they do have viscosity. |
 | The kinetic energy per molecule in a gas is the second greatest of the states of matter (after plasma). |
 | A gas that is ionized (or even partially ionized) becomes a plasma, the fourth state of matter because its properties are quite different to solids, liquids and gases. |
