neither the shape nor the volume
They are lighter in density as compared to solids. Gas are compressible, whereas not all solids. Gases exhibit better flow characteristics than solids. Gases readily react with other substances. All solids are seen by the naked eye whereas some gases are not.
shape but not the volume
Sand itself doesnt take the shape of the container its all of sand put together that takes theshape of a container. if you just get a single grain of sand...its not going to take the shape. you need a lot of it.
The shape of a liquid is determined by the container in which it is placed. Liquids take the shape of their container because their particles are able to flow and move around freely, allowing them to conform to the shape of the container.
With a liquid, you can easily change its shape to fill the container it occupies, allowing it to take on various forms. Liquids can flow and move freely, enabling them to mix with other liquids or substances, which is not possible with solids. Additionally, liquids can exert pressure in all directions, a characteristic that is not applicable to solids in the same way.
Yes, liquid can spread out in all directions due to its particles having more freedom of movement compared to solids. This property is called fluidity, which allows liquids to take the shape of their container and flow to fill available space.
No.
Pouret
Solids, liquids, and gases depend on the intermolecular forces between their particles. In solids, particles are closely packed with strong intermolecular forces, leading to a fixed shape and volume. Liquids have weaker forces, allowing particles to flow and take the shape of their container. Gases have very weak forces, leading to particles that move freely and expand to fill their container.
All solids do no have same properties. They possess different properties.
because.
Liquids flow into all the nooks and crannies of a container because the particles are free to move around. The particles in a solid are fixed in place relative to one another and are held there by strong forces of attraction.
