What are the Properties of Gases?

Some of the important properties of gages are : 1. A gas has no definite shape or volume of its own. It acquires the shape of the container. 2. A gas has no surface of its own. 3. A gas is not rigid and is easily compressed 4. A gas can diffuse into another gas and etc.

What are the characteristic properties of solids, liquids and gases ?

Each physical state of matter possesses characteristics properties of its own. For example: solids are rigid, and incompressible, liquids are almost incompressible but less incompressible than solids, gases are highly compressible, i.e. gases can be compressed easily by applying pressure.
