The document discusses the key properties of gases including: 1) Gases can be compressed or expanded easily since gas particles are far apart and can move around one another. 2) The main properties that characterize gases are density, mass, volume, temperature, and pressure. Density refers to the mass per unit volume and gases have low density since particles are spaced far apart. 3) Temperature, pressure, and volume are interrelated based on the kinetic molecular theory where increasing the temperature or amount of gas particles increases pressure, while increasing volume decreases pressure.
