Do gases exert forces?
Yes, they randomly move and when they collide with something they exert a force on it and their momentum and direction changes
Do gases exert pressure on containers?
Yes, they smash against container walls creating an outwards pressure (if heated up particles move faster therefore creating a higher pressure.
What is absolute zero?
0 kelvins/ -273°C
