๊ธฐ์ฒด์ ์ฑ์ง (Properties of Gases)
Gases are like tiny bouncy balls that spread out and fill any space they're in, and their behavior changes with pressure and temperature. ๐จ

Gases are all around us! From the air we breathe to the steam from a hot shower, they play a crucial role in our daily lives. Understanding the properties of gases helps us predict how they will behave under different conditions, which is essential in many applications like weather forecasting and designing engines. Think of gases like a crowd of people โ they move randomly and take up space!

๊ธฐ์ฒด๋ ํฝ์ฐฝํ๋ค (Gases Expand)
Gases always try to spread out and fill the space they're in. Unlike solids or liquids that stay in one place, gases don't have a fixed shape or volume. Imagine blowing up a balloon; the air (gas) expands to fill the entire balloon. ๐
๊ธฐ์ฒด๋ ์์ถ๋๋ค (Gases are Compressible)
You can squeeze gases into a smaller space. This is because the molecules in a gas are far apart. Pushing down on a bike pump makes the air inside squeeze into a smaller volume, increasing the pressure. ๐ดโโ๏ธ
๊ธฐ์ฒด๋ ์๋ ฅ์ ๊ฐ์ง๋ค (Gases Exert Pressure)
Gases constantly bump into things, and these bumps create pressure. Think of a tire on a car. The air inside pushes outwards on the tire walls, keeping the tire inflated and allowing the car to drive smoothly. ๐
์จ๋๊ฐ ๋ณํ๋ฉด ๊ธฐ์ฒด์ ๋ถํผ๋ ๋ณํ๋ค (Gas Volume Changes with Temperature)
When you heat a gas, it usually expands (takes up more space). This is because the molecules move faster and bump into each other harder. Imagine a hot air balloon. Heating the air inside makes it less dense than the air outside, so the balloon floats. ๐ฅ
๊ธฐ์ฒด์ ์์ด ๋ณํ๋ฉด ์๋ ฅ๋ ๋ณํ๋ค (Gas Pressure Changes with Amount)
Adding more gas to a closed container will increase the pressure. Think about inflating a basketball. The more air you pump in, the higher the pressure inside, and the firmer the ball becomes. ๐

- Spraying an air freshener in a room. You can smell it throughout the room because the gas spreads out to fill the entire space.
- A can of compressed air (like for cleaning keyboards). You can store a large amount of air in a small can because the gas is compressed, and when released, it expands rapidly.
- A popping balloon. When you heat a balloon too much, the air inside expands, increasing the pressure until the balloon can't hold it anymore and bursts! ๐ฅ
