Are gas molecules further apart than solid molecules and liquid molecules?
Prajwalshrestha7165
Generally, the molecules in gases are further apart than molecules of the same substance in either liquid or solid state. However, note the existence of a critical temperature for each substance. Above the critical temperature, no liquid or solid phase can exist, but it would be theoretically possible to compress a supercritical substance so that it would have closer molecules than some liquid form of the same substance.

Are molecules close together in a liquid?
molecules are closer together in a liquid than a gas but further apart than in a solid
What happens to water when it changes state from a solid to a liquid?
You remove energy from it's solid state; then it returns to a liquid. The H20 molecules move further apart when you go from a solid to a liquid (and even further when it goes to a gas)
Why is the density of a substance in a gaseous state much less than its density in liquid or solid state?
Because the atoms or molecules in a gas are several orders of magnitude further apart than they are in a liquid or solid.
Are The molecules of a gas much farther apart than molecules in a solid and liquid?
yes they are
When solid is heated and melts into a liquid what happens to its molecules?
they get farther apart.
The molecules of a gas are much farther apart than molecules in a solid or liquid?
Yes, this is true.
What are different in solid liquid and gases?
The particles of solids are very close and tight and are organised. The particles of liquids are randomly organised and are further apart. The molecules in gases are really far apart.
How does gas become liquid when heat is removed?
The states of matter all have to do with the distance between the molecules. In the gas state, the molecules are very far apart. The heat causes them to move faster, making them move further apart creating the gas state. When you remove the heat, the molecules slow down, bringing them closer together into a liquid state. If you cool them further, they will reach a solid state.
Why can you compress a gas but not liquid or a solid?
The question is based on the misconception that liquids and solids cannot be compressed: they can. The molecules of gas are further apart allowing them to be compressed more easily.
What is the relationship of molecules in a solid liquid and a gas?
gas- the molecules are farther apart since there is more space in the air solid- the molecules are closer together since it is in one specific area Liquid- the molecules can be farther or closer together depending on the volume of the liquid
How is jelly a liquid?
The way the classify it as a liquid, is how far apart the molecules are spread. In jelly the molecules must be spread apart and moving more rapidly than a solid structure such as wood.
Which is the densest state in the us?
liquid when it is in solid form, the molecules actually move further apart, which is unusual, since in most other cases the solid is the most dense. It is due to the structure of water molecules
