Question
Why does a gas exert pressure?
✓

Answer

Because of high energy and negligible forces of attraction, the particles of a gas move with high speed in all directions. Thus, the pressure exerted by a gas is due to the constant collisions of the fast moving gas particles against the walls of the container.
