Does the vloume of a gas change when its compressed?
Yes, when a gas is compressed it could form into a solid or liquid substance.
How are the properties of a gas different then the properties of a liquid or a soild?
gases can be compressed where as a solid can not. liquids can be compressed slightly, but not as much as a gas can be gases have a greater surface area, and greater kinetic energy, so a substance is more reactive as a gas rather than as a solid or liquid
Is carbon a solid liquid gas or plasma?
Carbon is a solid most of the time, but can be made into a liquid, gas, or plasma.
How do you decide whether a sample of matter is a solid liquid or gas?
The differences between a solid, liquid and gas are simple! A solid is an object that has a set volume, and is hard to compress. A liquid will take the shape of its container, but is hard to compress. A gas will take the shape of its container, and is easy to compress.
Describe four examples of changes in state?
Four examples of changes in state are: solid to gas (sublimation), gas to solid (deposition), solid to liquid (fusion), and gas to liquid (condensation).Four examples of change on state are liquid to solid, solid to liquid, liquid to a gas, and gas to a liquid.
A gas but not a liquid or a solid can be?
Compressed.
Does the vloume of a gas change when its compressed?
Yes, when a gas is compressed it could form into a solid or liquid substance.
Is LPG a solid liquid or a gas?
Liquefied petroleum gas is a gas at room temperature but is compressed into a liquid for transportation.
Is sponge a solid liquid or gas?
solid and gas . Solid because it has a fixed shape and gas because it can be compressed * * * * * It is a solid. The fact that it can be compressed does not make it a gas. The compression is simply because a sponge contains a large number of spaces that are filled with gas but the gas there (air) is not part of the sponge.
Which state of matter is highly compressible?
Gases. Also, there are really four states; Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma.

Is ink a liquid?
Yes, it flows which means it is not a solid and it cannot be compressed which means it is not a gas.
A certain substance a cannot be compressed but takes up the shape of any container in which it is placedwhat can be its physical state?
It it takes the shape of the container, it can not be a solid. So, that narrows it down to being a liquid or a gas. A gas is easily compressed, so, the answer is most likely it is a liquid. Caveat: liquids can be compressed, but not easily.

Are most elements gas liquid or solid?
solid gas
Why does gas have a lower density than a solid?
A gas has a lower density than either a liquid or solid because its molecules are not as compressed as the other two states of matter. Gas has weaker intermolecular bonds than either a solid or liquid.
