free space

Can someone explain to me the output from dba_free_space? The columns seem simple enough...bytes is just blocks* oracle block size etc., I'm wondering though what the significance of this view is...the blocks aren't in sequence, why is that? Does these "free spaces" represent fragmentation? If so, what kind? Table, tablespace, empty extents? I appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,
Dc.
