Key Stage 2
Meaning
Gas is a state of matter that can change size and shape to fit any container.
About Gases
- Most gases are invisible but we can feel them.
- When the air moves we call it the wind.
|
Gases can be squashed into a smaller size. |
Examples of gas materials:
- Air (A mixture of gases, mostly nitrogen and oxygen)
- Steam
Key Stage 3
Meaning
Gas is a State of Matter in which the particles are separated by large distances and can move freely.
About Gases
Gas can be squashed into a smaller size because the particles are spread apart. |
Particle Diagram | Particle Arrangement | Property |
Particles are free to move in all directions. | Gases fit the size of their container. | |
Gases fit the shape of their container. | ||
Convection happens most easily in gases. | ||
Particles are spread apart. | Gases can be compressed into a smaller volume. | |
Sound passes through gases slower than liquids and solids. | ||
Thermal Conduction is very poor in a gases. |
