What are some of the general properties of gases that distinguish them from liquids and solids?

Some properties or characteristics that distinguish gases from solids and liquids are that they are compressible and also can expand to fill the volume in a container. Likewise, gas molecules are far apart and can occupy more space when compared to those of solids or liquids.

∙ 12y agoCompressibility: Liquids and solid matter are incompressible while gases are compressible. 1 L of water will always occupy the same volume and have the same mass. 1 L of gases can be different masses, depending upon the pressure within the cylinder.
Molecular Randomness/crystal structure: Solids have a set crystal structure where the molecules are bonded together in a particular, unchanging order. Liquids have semi-random molecular order, while Gases are completely random and contain no crystal structure.
Sorry, that's only two.

What properties of solids distinguish them from liquids and gases?
Solids don't change their size or shape.
What are the properties all solids have in common?
The common properties of solids is that they have definite shape and a definite volume. They do not take the shape of the containers like the liquids.
