About this document
Boyle by Jeo Shin is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A gas has no definite shape or volume and has a lower density than other states of matter. Gas particles are in constant random motion and exhibit perfectly elastic collisions. Due to the large spaces between gas molecules compared to their sizes, gases can be compressed and their volume can be varied. Decreasing the volume of a gas at constant temperature and number of moles increases the pressure exerted on the container walls due to more frequent molecular collisions.
