Density is defined as the mass of a substance per its unit volume (i.e. d = m/V).
The liquid form of any particular substance will have its atoms (or molecules, for a molecular substance) packed more closely together than its gaseous form. If they are packed more closely together in a liquid, there will be more atoms per unit volume in the liquid than the gas.
For example, if you were to take 1 cubic metre of argon gas (at 1 atm) and 1 cubic metre of liquid argon, you would have more atoms of argon in the liquid sample than the gas sample.
Therefore, for identical V, if m(gas) < m(liquid), then it follows that d(gas) < d(liquid).
What else can I help you with?
Why does liquids have density?
Their volume and mass are easily tested so it is a nice way to characterise a liquid sample by. Solids and gases also have densities by the way
Do gases always have densities less than solids and liquids?
Yes, it is true.
What are the differences between liquids and gases?
Liquids have a definite volume and take the shape of their container, while gases have neither a definite volume nor shape, filling the entire space available to them. Gases are compressible, while liquids are not. Additionally, gases exhibit lower intermolecular forces compared to liquids.
What are the traits of a gas?
The traits of gas are no definite volume, shape and mass. Gases are also easy to compress and can occupy far more spaces than solids and liquids from which they form.
What item has a fixed volume solids liquids or gases?
solids and liquids
A description of gases and liquids are?
Gases have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume. Liquids do not have a definite shape, but they DO have a definite volume. Gases have no or little intermolecular forces holding them together, whereas liquids do have substantial intermolecular forces.
What are the 6 characteristics of gas?
Gases have no definite shape or volume and expand to fill their container. They are highly compressible and tend to diffuse quickly. Gas particles are in constant, random motion. Gases have low densities compared to liquids and solids. They do not exhibit strong intermolecular forces. Gases are affected by changes in temperature, pressure, and volume.
How are gasses and liquids similar in shape and volume?
ANSWER unlike solids, both liquids and gases can change their shape to fit the container in which they are held. however, gases can also change volume unlike liquids.
Why does sound travel differently in solids liquids and gasses?
Gases, liquids and solid all have different consistencies (densities). So the sound is changed
Given that a large number of non-metalsare gases what does it tell you about the densities of non-metals in general?
In strict logical inference, nothing, because there could be very dense nonmetals to compensate for the gases. However, in fact the densities of nonmetals on average are less than the densities of metals.
What are the 3 sound mediums?
The three sound mediums are solids, liquids, and gases. Sound waves travel differently through each medium due to variations in their densities and compressibility.
Is the boyle's law applicable to liquids?
Boyle's law applies to ideal gases, not liquids. In liquids, pressure and volume are not directly proportional as they are in gases. Liquids are generally considered to be incompressible, so changes in pressure do not significantly affect their volume.
