Mass and volume


Are gases easier to squash than the other 2 states of matter?

By "squash" it would seem you are thinking of compressing into a smaller volume. The simple answer to that is: YES. Because the molecules in gases are more widely spaced than solids or liquids, they have less resistance to being brought closer together, i.e. squashed.


How gases are different from solids?

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.

How are solids and gases a like?

While solids and gases are very different - one can be physically grasped and the other cannot - they also share similarities. For examples, solids and gases are alike because they both have matter, mass and weight.
