According to kinetic molecular model in gases,
the particles are closely packed together; they occupy minimum space are usually arranged in a regular pattern
the particles vibrate about fixed positions and are held together by the strong intermolecular bonds between them
the molecules are very far apart and occupy all the spaces made available to them
the particles occur in clusters with molecules slightly further apart
Explicació
The model, called the kinetic theory of gases, assumes that the molecules are very small relative to the distance between molecules.
The molecules are in constant, random motion and frequently collide with each other and with the walls of any container.
