• They all seem to be zipping around really fast

Ready for a brain teaser? Can you tell me what a gas is?

• Is it matter that has an indefinite volume but a definite shape?

• Or is it matter that has a definite shape but no definite volume?

• Could it be matter that doesn't have a definite shape or definite volume?

• Or is it matter that simply does not exist?

• Or does it have a definite shape and indefinite volume?

• Maybe it has a definite shape and definite volume?

• Or is it a gas like state of matter where atoms have been stripped of electrons?
