Gassformig

Gassformig is a term derived from the German word "gasförmig," which translates to gaseous. It is used to describe a substance that exists in the gaseous state of matter. In the gaseous state, particles are widely separated and move randomly at high speeds. Gases have no fixed shape or volume and will expand to fill any container they are placed in. This is in contrast to solids, which have a definite shape and volume, and liquids, which have a definite volume but no fixed shape.

The transition of a substance into the gaseous state is known as vaporization or boiling, depending on the conditions. Conversely, the transition from a gaseous state to a liquid state is called condensation, and to a solid state is deposition. The behavior of gases is often described by the ideal gas law, which relates pressure, volume, temperature, and the amount of gas. Real gases deviate from this ideal behavior, particularly at high pressures and low temperatures, where intermolecular forces become more significant. Understanding the gaseous state is fundamental in many scientific disciplines, including chemistry, physics, and atmospheric science. Examples of common gases include oxygen, nitrogen, and helium.
