What is the kenetic theory of gases?
Definition

Theory that a gas contains small particles in constant random motion that have no attractive or repulsive forces between them or the walls of the container, are very far apart from each other with a very small negligible total volume compared to the container it occupys,

and has an average kinetic energy proportional to absolute temperature

Definition
since gases are spread out and have little mass per unit of volume causes them to have a low density

because gases are in constant, random motion and therefore reach all parts of any container they are in
