Molecules
What type of collisions occur among gas molecules and with the walls of the container?
Intermolecular collisions and wall collisions
What happens to the net energy of a gas during collisions?
Remains constant

Do gas molecules experience gravitational force of attraction?
No
How does the volume of gas molecules compare to the total volume of the gas?
Negligible
What causes pressure changes in a gas?
When molecules hit the walls of the container
