What properties do only gases have?
Gases change their volume according to the container that they are in. Liquids change shape but not volume, and solids change neither shape nor volume.
What do solids liquids and gases have that are different?
Structure. Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have definite volume but indefinite shape. Gases have both indefinite shape and indefinite volume.
What properties of solids distinguish them from liquids and gases?
Solids don't change their size or shape.
How can shape and volume classify materials?
- solids have a shape and a volume- liquids have a volume but not a shape- gases haven't shape or volume (in free form)
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.
What item has a fixed volume solids liquids or gases?
solids and liquids
What properties do only gases have?
Gases change their volume according to the container that they are in. Liquids change shape but not volume, and solids change neither shape nor volume.
What are two properties that all types of matter including solids liquids and gases have in common?
Mass and volume
What do solids liquids and gases have that are different?
Structure. Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have definite volume but indefinite shape. Gases have both indefinite shape and indefinite volume.
What properties of solids distinguish them from liquids and gases?
Solids don't change their size or 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.'
What are some examples of how gases are different from liquids and solids?
I can only tell you that gases are does not have a difinite shape and volume . E.g air / nitrogen / carbon dioxide / water vapour / . . .
Why are solids USUALLY more dense liquids and gases?
Solids are usually more dense because solids have a smaller volume than liquids or gases, so the same amount of mass is in a smaller volume, making the density greater.
What happens to the volume of solids liquids and gases when they are cool?
they all contract.
Unlike solids and liquids a gas will?
Unlike solids and liquids, a gas will expand to fill the space available to it.
What are the properties of the solids liquids gases?
solids cannot be poured , they cannot also change shape unless you bend it , break a bit of it or melt it. liquids can be poured. gases can not be condensed down
Do solids have a fixed shape and volume?
Yes they do. Liquids have no fixed shape and gases have no fixed volume.
