1. gases

   Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter – the others being solid, liquid, and plasma.A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide). A gas mixture, such as air, contains a variety of pure gases. What distinguishes a gas from liquids and solids is the vast separation of the individual gas particles. This separation usually makes a colourless gas invisible to the human observer. The gaseous state of matter occurs between the liquid and plasma states, the latter of which provides the upper temperature boundary for gases. Bounding the lower end of the temperature scale lie degenerative quantum gases which are gaining increasing attention. High-density atomic gases super-cooled to very low temperatures are classified by their statistical behavior as either Bose gases or Fermi gases. For a comprehensive listing of these exotic states of matter see list of states of matter.

1. Gases

   The vapor state of matter; nonelastic fluids in which the molecules are in free movement and their mean positions far apart. Gases tend to expand indefinitely, to diffuse and mix readily with other gases, to have definite relations of volume, temperature, and pressure, and to condense or liquefy at low temperatures or under sufficient pressure. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)

Examples of gases in a Sentence

1. Sophie Power:

   When the gases pass through our filter there's a chemical reaction that absorbs them into our filter.

2. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration:

   Human-induced climate change is projected to continue, and it will accelerate significantly if global emissions of heat-trapping gases continue to increase.

3. Environment America:

   Burning fossil fuels produces more than just health-threatening ozone and particulates – it also produces greenhouse gases that are warming our climate. Global warming is likely to make air pollution worse in the years to come.

4. David Hutchon:

   When it comes to labor management practices, we need to find a better way of testing for the cord blood gases as well as getting billions of stem cells out of the cord and placenta after the baby has had its physiological transition and a normal blood volume, we're getting closer to finding a solution but we're just not there yet.

5. Gavin Schmidt:

   Global warming is happening, and I always sound like a broken record because we've basically broken the climate, we need to keep tracking what's happening to the planet. And even though it's doing what we expect, it's getting warmer because we've got more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. We don't get any satisfaction as scientists from being proven right on this. We would much rather have been wrong.
