In solid, the molecules r tightly packed by intermolecular forces, but in gas these forces r very loose.

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.


Do molecules travel faster in solid or gas?

gas


What is the same and different between the spacing in molecules in solid and a gas?

solid is not spaced out a lot but a gas has a large gap in between molecules


What happens to molecules at 0K?

Molecules at zero will not be gas anymore. Molecules will then become a solid.


Are gas molecules spread apart or more tightly together than a solid?

Gas molecules a spread out father than a soilid. This is beacuase gas molecules have nmore energy which makes them move much faster than the molecules in a solid.


How the particles in matter move?

It depends which state of matter you are referring to -- solid, liquid or gas. Solid: molecules vibrate in place Liquid: molecules are moving faster than a solid but slower than a gas. gas: molecules are moving at a high speed hope this helps :)


Is gas molecules are less widely spread than solid molecule?

Gas molecules are spread apart farther than solid molecules. They also have more energy, making them move faster


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


Is there a relationship between gas and solid?

Yes, a gas is the same as a solid except the molecules are moving farther apart. In a solid they are bunched together.


Is it true that the primary difference between a solid and a liquid is a kind of atom in the material?

No. The difference between a solid and a liquid are theorganization and energies of the molecules (or atoms) present. For instance, water (H2O) can be found as a solid (ice), liquid (water from your sink), or gas (steam). All of these are H2O. They differ only in the amount of energy in each state (gas > liquid > solid) and organization of the molecules (spread out -vs- packed together).


How is a gas different from solid?

In a solid, all the molecules are bonded together. In a gas, the particles are free to float where ever they want.


Are The molecules of a gas much farther apart than molecules in a solid and liquid?

yes they are
