What happens to the space between gas molecules when
Dew Drop squeezes (increases the pressure on) a balloon equally on all sides?

 

Lets take a look:

What happens to the gas molecules?
Molecules increase in number
Molecules spread farther apart
Molecules get pushed closer together

Density is the mass found in a volume of gas, liquid, or solid. Since all atoms and molecules weigh something (have mass), the more of them you pack into a given space, the greater the density.

Which gas in the balloons below is most dense?
