Question

Gases become conducting at low pressure. Why

Answer 1

Explanation:

But when the gas pressure is low(not too low), the atoms are not closely spaced, the electrons get enough time to accelerate. As a result they collide with another atom, they gain sufficient energy from electric field to ionize other atoms. So, gas conducts at low pressure.
