### Gas laws
According to the **kinetic molecular theory**, gases are largely empty empty space with partiles moving randomly in straight lines due to weak or no intermolecular forces acting on them. Gas particles:
- move in all directions,
- are much smaller than the spaces between them,
- do not have any forces of attraction or repulsion between them,
- elastically collide with one another, and
- have movement directly proportional to the temperature in Kelvin such that $E_k\proptoT$.
Because gases are the only state of matter that have negligible intermolecular forces within the substance and so move independently of one another, they are the only **compressible** state of matter.
