Yes, it is true.
It's mostly to do with density. In simple terms, gases have very low densities compared to solids and liquids, so that their molecules/atoms cause very little scatting of light as it passes through them.
The three sound mediums are solids, liquids, and gases. Sound waves travel differently through each medium due to variations in their densities and compressibility.
Gases, liquids and solid all have different consistencies (densities). So the sound is changed
some solids,liquids and gases are dangers some are not dangers
solids and liquids
Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases
The kinetic energy is lowest in solids, higher in liquids, and highest in gases.
Their volume and mass are easily tested so it is a nice way to characterise a liquid sample by. Solids and gases also have densities by the way
Solids and liquids are not like gases.
Solids, liquids, and gases are considered matter because they have mass and occupy space. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space, and solids, liquids, and gases all meet these criteria.
In strict logical inference, nothing, because there could be very dense nonmetals to compensate for the gases. However, in fact the densities of nonmetals on average are less than the densities of metals.
Solids have a set volume. Liquids have a set volume. Gases do not have a set volume. Why? Solids are solids. They don't move. They're in a 'frozen state' as is. Liquids 'mold' to the shape of their container and they stay there. Gases are free to go anywhere. Always moving and 'flying.'
