<h2>Gas Molecules Move in Random Motion </h2>

Explanation:

According to the property of an ideal gas the volume occupied by the gas molecules themselves is negligible as compared to the volume occupied by the gas
The molecules of ideal gas obey Newton's laws of motion thus they move in random motion
According to the above statements we can conclude that Helium gas can fill many more balloons as compared to fit the baloons inside the cylinder because the particles of gas is free to move in random motion and can occupy more volume
