Question
Give reasons:
A gas can fill the whole vessel in which it is enclosed.
Solution
Because, in gases, the molecules are free to move.
They are not stuck to each other and the intermolecular force of attraction is least in the gases. So the gas almost filled the whole vessel in which it is enclosed.
