In a gas, molecules move freely and rapidly in all directions, colliding with one another and with the walls of their container. This movement is random and occurs at high speeds, which increases with temperature. The intermolecular forces are weak, allowing the molecules to spread out and occupy the entire volume of the available space. As a result, gases have neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
