Is molecule movement greater in liquids or gases?
molecules move more in gasses gasses>liquids>solids
How does these three terms density rigidity and fluidity apply to particles in the solid gas and liquid phase?
Solids and liquids are denser than gases. That is has more tightly packed molecules. Solids are more rigid than liquids and gases. That is they retain their shape when force is applied(with exceptions) When too much force is applied they break rather than changing shape Liquids and gases are more fluid than solids.
Why does conduction occur more easily in solids and liquids than in gases?
Conduction is the transfer of heat by direct contact. It is more likely to occur in soilds and liquids because the particles are closer and move slower.
Where would you find solids liquids and gases?
Solids - Fixed volume and shape. Particles in a solid have a rigid structure and vibrate. Liquids - Fixed volume but no fixed shape. Particles in a liquid can flow and have more energy than in solids. Gases - No fixed volume and no fixed shape. Gas particles move with a lot of energy and fill the space available to them.
Why is kinetic energy of liquids more than solids?
The kinetic energy in liquids is greater than that in solids because the molecules in solids are more closely packed together than in liquids such that liquids can freely move about within the containing vessel.
What makes up solids liquids and gases?
Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases
What happens to solid liquids and gases when they are heated?
Solids ---heat---> Liquids ---more heat---> gases
Sound travels slower through gases than through liquids and solids because the molecules in gases are?
sound travels slower through gases as compared to solids and liquids because there is more inter-moleculer space in gas as compared to solids and liquids.
Why is it easier to find solids and liquids than gases?
Humans are more use to engaging and thinking about solids than liquids or gases. They are easier to find because they are what we are looking for.
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.
Is molecule movement greater in liquids or gases?
molecules move more in gasses gasses>liquids>solids
Do gases are more easily squashed than solids and liquids?
how am i suposed to know
How the motion of particles differ in gases liquids and solids.?
The motion of particles in gasses, liquids, and solids are all different. Gas particles can move much more quickly than solids.
Why can you squash gases?
In solids and liquids the molecules are already very close together so they can't be squeezed together much more than that. In a gas molecules are very spread out so they can be compressed .

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.'
Why can you squash a gas but not a solid?
cause you can feel it and touch it
