Yes.

Almost all substances are less dense in their liquid form than their solids, as the solid structure is more closely packed.

Water is the exception to this, hence ice floats.

Yes, it usually increases! Going from solid to liquid is called melting. There are some substances which decrease in volume upon melting however. One such substance is water.

The phase change from gas to solid involves a decrease in volume.

Usually there is an increase volume when a solid melts and as the solid is denser than the liquid it does not float but sinks. One notable exception is water; ice floats (remember Titanic?)

What is the effect of temperature on volume?

Temperature has direct relation with volume,so therefore an increase in temperature will result in the increase in volume.


What happens to volume as pressure goes up?

According to the state equation pv=nrt p=pressure v=volume n=number of moles r=gas constant t=temperature. p and v are inversely proportional; as p increases, v decreases, as v increases, p decreases.


How does Temperature increase with compression?

Kinetic theory in chemistry describes the relationship between temperature, volume, and pressure; if you increase temperature, the pressure or volume will increase, if you decrease volume or increase pressure, temperature will increase. The theory examines the nature of an elastic gas with atoms or molecules moving around within a container colliding with each other and with the walls of the container; temperature is a measure of the collective average random kinetic energy, expressed both in mass and speed (rotation, translation, and vibration). It describes that as you compress the substance (decrease the volume), the density of its component molecules increases and the frequency with which they collide with the walls increases, hence the temperature (and/or pressure) goes up.


Does nonmetal activity tend to decrease or increase as one goes down group 17?

It's decrease because florine has the most activity.


How the process of measuring the volume of a liquid different from the process of measuring the volume of a solid?

Because liquid and solid are two different things

If the wavelength of a given wave decreases you know that its frequency will stay the same true or false?

False. An increase in frequency means a decrease in the wavelength and a decrease in frequency goes with an increase in the wavelength.


What does inversely and directly proportional mean?

Inversely proportional means that one variable goes up while the other goes down. Directly proportional means that both variables increase or decrease at the same time. ex: The volume of a gas at constant pressure is inversely proportional to gas pressure, thus this means that as pressure increases, the volume of the gas will decrease. ex: The volume of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to absolute pressure, thus this means that when you heat a gas the volume also increases.
