Both are fluids.Gas is compressible whereas liquid is incompressible. The molecules in liquids are loosely attached while in gas the aren't attached at all. The kinetic energy of gas molecules is more than that of liquids.

The gas has more room to freely move around inside an atom, but a liquid isn't like stuck to each other but it is doesn't have a whole bunch of room to maneuver around with.

What is true if a liquid and a gas are in equilibrium?

liquid molecules forming a gas and gas molecule forming a liquid are equal in number


What happens to a fluid when it heats?

When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules. When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules.


Why a gas would have higher entropy than a liquid?

Gas molecules have fewer constraints on their location, than liquid molecules. Molecules in a liquid have to remain in contact with the other molecules of the liquid, and are limited to a specific volume. Gas molecules can go anywhere, they are not connected to anything. So with more possible locations, gas molecules represent a state of higher entropy or disorder.


What has virtually no bonds between molecules a solid a liquid or gas?

How does the spacing of molecules compare in solids liquids and gases?

Solid- Close together Liquid- Bit farther apart Gas- Far apart


What is it When molecules of a gas draw closer together to become a liquid?

The process by which the molecules of a gas draw closer to become a liquid is called condensation


How do the properties of a gas differ from the properties of a liquid or solid?

they differ from their molecules when gas molecules have lots of energy ,liquid has less energy, and gas has the smallest amount of energy.


How a gas dissolves in a liquid?

There are a number of ways in which a gas could dissolve in a liquid. It could bind with the liquid molecules.


What happens when a solid a liquid and gas when it changes its state?

Well solid to liquid the heat speeds up the molecules and same for liquid to gas but from liquid to solid the coolant slows the molecules down


What could cause liquid molecules to separate into gas molecules?

Heat!


When the molecules in a body move with increased speed its possible that the body will change from agas to a liquid gas to a solid liquid to a solid liquid to a gas?

Liquid to gas


Does a gas or liquid heat that its molecules move away from each other?

gas heats up and then the molecules spread away from each other, NOT liquid!
