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. + ## 2.1 - Atoms !!! definition
