The gaseous state is one of the four states of matter, along with the liquid, solid, and plasma states. In the gaseous state, the molecules are far apart and have high kinetic energy. This means that they are constantly moving and colliding with each other. Gases have no definite shape or volume and will expand to fill any container they are placed in. They are also compressible, meaning that they can be squeezed into a smaller volume. Gases are typically transparent and have a low density.
