In a gas there is no real arrangement whatsoever. In liquids there is some particle to particle interaction, specifcally in the case of water polarity causes much of water's "odd behavior as a liquid. In a solid particles are arranged in a very rigid and often repeating and or crystalline structure.

Why is gas denser than liquids and solids?

Gas isn't denser than liquids and solids. It's the other way around. And THIS is because the atoms in liquids and solids are closer together and there is less space to move around. In solid objects, the atoms are so close and compacted they don't move. in liquids, the atoms are a little bit farther apart. in gases, they are very spread out, making the amount of atoms LESS dense than the solids.


Why the vapour pressure of solids are far less than those of liquids?

The vapour pressure of solids are far less than those of liquid because solids have fixed arrangement of molecules and between atom of solids their is strong intermolecular forces that held the molecules in place and the molecules of liquid have less intermolecular forces as compared to solids.


Do liquids and solids diffuse easily?

No, liquids and solids do not diffuse as easily as gases due to their tightly packed molecular structure and lower kinetic energy. Diffusion in liquids is generally slower than in gases, but it can still occur over time. In solids, diffusion is even slower due to the rigid arrangement of molecules.


What is true about the movement of atoms and molecules?

Atoms and molecules are in constant motion, vibrating and moving randomly. This movement is due to their kinetic energy. In gases, atoms and molecules move freely in all directions, while in liquids and solids, the movement is more restricted.


Is the attraction in particles stronger in liquids then solids?

In general, the attraction between particles in liquids is weaker than in solids. In liquids, particles have more freedom to move around, which is why liquids can flow and take the shape of their container. In solids, particles are held more tightly together, which is why solids have a definite shape and volume.

Compare Solids and Liquids using the Venn Diagram?

Solids and liquids are both forms of matter with definite volumes. However, solids have a definite shape, while liquids take the shape of their container. Solids have particles tightly packed together, whereas liquids have particles that are more spread out and can move past each other.


Why do liquids and gases take the shape of their containers while solids do not?

The molecules of liquids and gasses are not tightly arranged or packed. It is due to this arrangement they can move freely. Thus, take the shape of the container. Whereas in solids the molecules are tightly arranged they don't have place to move. Thus ,they don't take the shape of the container.


Why gases are compressible?

Gases are compressible because their molecules bounce off of each other instead of sticking together. The molecules of solids and liquids stick together instead of moving freely.


What makes up solids liquids and gases?

Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases


What do the molecules of a gas do?

Move a lot faster then liquids and solids.


What is the definition for Packing of Particles?

How close together the molecules (particles) are in a substance/material. Solids are closely packed, liquids are loosely packed, and gas are very loose, freely moving molecules.


Why gases compress?

Gases are compressible because their molecules bounce off of each other instead of sticking together. The molecules of solids and liquids stick together instead of moving freely.


Do liquids heat up faster than solids?

In general, liquids heat up faster than solids because molecules in liquids are able to move and transfer heat more freely than molecules in solids, which have a fixed structure. This allows heat to be distributed more evenly and raise the temperature of liquids more rapidly.


How are solids and liquids determine?

solids are hard the molecules are squished together and if you pour it in a glass it wont take shape. liquids will take any shape


Do solids liquids and gases have a definite volume?

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.'


Is molecule movement greater in liquids or gases?

molecules move more in gasses gasses>liquids>solids


Why solids is not compressible why?

solid is a state in which molecules are closely packed than liquids and gases. the inter molecular distance between the molecules of solids are less or negligible.thats why the solids are not compressible
