The gas phase of matter is the most probable phase in which atoms may move around freely ,but will still have a volume when compressed. Noble gasses group 8 on the Periodic Table will have no volume since their particles are classified as infinitively small thus making it uncompressible. Their are laws that state these facts ,but they are to many to be quoted. If you have another opinion please commnet as i am only a gr11 student.
What else can I help you with?
How is plasma different?
Plasma is made up of free electrons and atoms that are stripped of their electrons. It has no definite shape or volume. A Solid has a definite shape and a definite volume. A Liquid has no definite shape but has a definite volume. A Gas has no definite shape or volume.
What is the phase of matter not having definite volume or definite shape?
Of the three classic phases or states (solid, liquid, gas), gases do not have a defined shape or volume, which is determined by the shape and volume of their containers. A sample will have a defined mass, and the volume into which that mass is confined determines the pressure of the gas.
What are the four physical states of matter?
The four physical states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, gases have neither a definite shape nor volume, and plasma is a state where atoms are ionized and have free-moving electrons.
Why doesnt gases have a definite shape or volume?
In a gas, the attraction between the atoms is so weak that they don't stay close together - they are basically free to move around.
Compare the solid liquid and gas phases of matter in terms of shape volume and arrangement and movement of particles?
as a material cools from a gas to a liquid, individual atoms or molecules slow down and get closer together. As it goes from a liquid to a solid, the molecules (or atoms) slow down more, and get closer together.
How does the movement of particles in a liquid help to explain the shape and volume in a liquid?
Because its particles are free to move, a liquid has no definite shape. However, it does have a definite volume.
Does a liquid have definite shape or no definite shape?
Yes; Solids have definite volume and shapes. Gases have indefinite volume and shapes. Liquids have definite volume, indefinite shape.
Substances with no definite shape and no definite volume are called what?
irregular shapes Depending on your reference they may also be fluids if they are not a solid figure.
What is a form of matter that does not have a definite shape or definite volume?
Water does not have a definate shape or volume because it takes the shape of any container it is put into.
What type of Matter that has definite shape but no definite volume?
The type of matter that has a definite shape but no definite volume is a solid. Solids have a fixed shape because their particles are closely packed together, but they can change volume slightly in response to temperature and pressure changes.
What phase of matter has no definite shape?
liquid, gas, and plasma phases must be contained to remain in the same shape. Solid retains it's shape without containment.
Does gas have an definite volume?
No, possessing volume is not a property of gas. A gas neither have definite volume not shape. The reason behind this is that " gasses molecules are apart from each other, therefore free space left between the molecules which allows them to move randomly .... Hence gasses haven't definite volume..
