the state of matter distinguished from the solid and liquid states by: relatively low density and viscosity; relatively great expansion and ...a fluid in the gaseous state having neither independent shape nor volume and being able to expand indefinitely gasoline: a volatile flammable mixture of hydrocarbons (hexane and heptane and octane etc.) derived from petroleum; used mainly as a fuel in internal-combustion engines flatulence: a state of excessive gas in the alimentary canal accelerator: a pedal that controls the throttle valve; 'he stepped on the gas' attack with gas; subject to gas fumes; 'The despot gassed the rebellious tribes' natural gas: a fossil fuel in the gaseous state; used for cooking and heating homes boast: show off
A gas is one of the states of matter, consisting of a collection of particles (molecules, atoms, ions, electrons, etc.) without a definite shape or volume that are in more or less random motion.
Gas was a British adult comic that was published monthly by Galaxy Publications from 1989 to 1991.
Gas is the second episode of the first series of British sitcom Bottom. It was first broadcast on Tuesday September 24, 1991.
Matter in a state intermediate between liquid and plasma that can be contained only if it is fully surrounded by a solid (or held together by gravitational pull); it can condense into a liquid, or can (rarely) become a solid directly; A chemical element or compound in such a state; An ... A state of matter with no definite shape or volume. The state in which a substance has no definite shape or volume. air that comes from the normal breakdown of food and is passed out of the body through the rectum (flatus) or the mouth (belch). The underground trench and related services (ie, electric, gas, telephone, sewer and water lines) that will be buried within the trench. means a material which has a vapor pressure greater than 300 kPa (43.5 psia) at 50 °C (122 °F) or is completely gaseous at 20 °C (68 °F) at a standard pressure of 101.3 kPa (14.7 psia). air that collects in the stomach and intestines as a natural result of digesting food. Passed out of the body via the rectum or the mouth. One of the three physical states in which matter can exist; gaseous matter conforms to the shape and volume of its container. shells spray a cone of gas for several meters. These are primarily used by riot police. They normally contain pepper gas or tear gas. Other variations launch a gas grenade-like projectile. One of the three states of matter. In the gaseous state, there is little attraction between the particles, which have continual, random motion. The gas has no fixed shape or volume, can expand indefinitely, and can assume the shape of the space in which it is held. ... A fuel burned under boilers and by internal combustion engines for electric generation. These include natural, manufactured and waste gas. Any aeriform or completely elastic fluid which is not a solid or a liquid. Gasses are produced by heating a liquid beyond its boiling point. The state of water in the hydrologic cycle in which individual molecules are highly energized and move about freely; also known as gaseous. A fluid state of matter when the atoms are free. The least dense state of matter which can have three states, solid, liquid and gas. Chemical substances that exist in the gaseous state at room temperature. An aeriform fluid that is in a gaseous state at standard temperature and pressure. Natural gas, manufactured gas, propane-air gas or any mixture of hydrocarbons or of hydrocarbons and noncombustible gases, in a gaseous state, consisting predominately of methane determined on a Btu basis. Gases are groups of atoms that are spread over a large space. One of their physical characteristics is that they fill containers evenly and completely. The atmosphere is made up of gases. MORE INFORMATION: Gases A low number of atoms or molecules in a relatively large volume of space so that their interaction is small. the state in which a substance exists when the forces of attraction between its particles are weakest. Gas is a phase of matter in which the molecules are widely separated, move around freely, and move at high speeds. GASEOUS Gaseous means existing as a gas (and having the characteristics of a gas).
