Its down to the molecules in the substance, in gases they are not that close to each other so they can move around quicker and faster so hence diffuse quicker in solids or most they are that tight they can not move are as easily.

When most solids liquids and gases are heated they?

expand


Do solids liquids and gases have different masses?

Yes, solids, liquids, and gases have different masses because their particles are packed differently. In general, solids have the most mass because their particles are closely packed, while gases have the least mass because their particles are spread out. Liquids have a mass between that of solids and gases.


Why do gases expand most on heating and solids least?

Gases expand most on heating because their particles have high kinetic energy, causing them to move further apart. Solids expand least because their particles are tightly packed and have less freedom to move, limiting the expansion.


Why do you think it is easier to find solids then liquids and gases?

I think because mostly it is solids that are all around you, and what you notice the most. So you don't really pay attension to liquids or gases unless your handling them.


What state of matter undergoes changes most quickly?

actually solids will be the best answer for this


What is the difference in density for all 3 states of matter?

The density of solids is generally higher compared to liquids and gases because the particles in solids are more closely packed together. Liquids have a higher density than gases due to their closer particle arrangement, but lower density than solids. Gases have the lowest density as their particles are the most spread out and have the most kinetic energy.


Sound would travel most quickly through?

Sound travels fastest through solids because the particles in a solid are closely packed together, allowing vibrations to travel quickly. Liquids and gases have particles that are more spread out, which slows down the speed of sound.


What are most nonmetals at room temperature?

Most nonmetals are gases at room temperature, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and fluorine. Some nonmetals, like sulfur and carbon, are solids at room temperature.


A sound wave will travel most quickly in what?

A sound wave can travel mor quickly in water than in air


What most easily forms a solution gases solids or liquids?

Gases most easily form a solution, as they have higher molecular movement and can mix more readily with other substances. Solids and liquids typically require more energy input to form a homogeneous solution.


Which expands most for increase in temperature water gas or solid?

Gas expands the most for an increase in temperature, followed by liquids, with solids expanding the least. This is because the particles in gases have the most kinetic energy and move more freely than particles in liquids and solids, allowing them to expand more readily.


What material does sound travel the fastest?

Sound travels the fastest in solids. Solids being the most denser make sound travel fastest as compared to liquids and gases which have speed of sound relatively less than solids.
