**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Understanding Gas Behavior:** Gases consist of molecules that are in constant motion. Unlike solids and liquids, gas molecules are far apart from each other, which allows them to move freely in all directions. 2. **Intermolecular Spaces:** In gases, the intermolecular spaces are very large compared to solids and liquids. This means that gas molecules can travel long distances without colliding with one another. ...
