Why gas molecules create pressure

Why gas molecules create pressure

Gas molecules far apart in a container, moving randomly, colliding with walls, and showing how smaller volume or higher temperature raises pressure A gas is made of molecules that are far apart compared with their size, and they move in random directions all the time. When these molecules collide with the walls of a container, each collision exerts a tiny force on the wall.
