Gas pressure is a measure of the number and forcefulness of collisions between gas particles and the walls of their container.
There are no attractive or repulsive forces between particles.
The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the sample.
A gas consists of tiny particles, either atoms or molecule, moving about at random.
The volume of the particles themselves is negligible compared with the total volume of the gas.
Collisions of the gas particles are elastic.
