why gases do not settle down at the bottom of the container when kept in it?

Gases are very less denser also, they've negligible intermolecular force of attraction between the particles of the gas. So, they all are free to roam seperately and hence making a negligible volume for which they become heavy settle down.

Gases are less denser and have negligible intermolecular force of attraction. They move freely here and there and moreover elastic collision occurs in them due to which energy is conserved. As there is now loss of energy they dont settle down.

In a container these molecules shall be distributed evenly in it (moving all the time). If you reduce the temperature they shall slow down until they liquefy and settle at the bottom. ... Because of the fact that they are gases , they don't solidify into solids to go to the bottom of a container.
