Do gases have low or high density?

Gasses have an incredibly low density, less than a liquid or a solid.


What are physical properties of gasses?

Examples: low density, high compressibility, low viscosity, high diffusion, low intermolecular forces etc.


What has the state of matter with the lowest density?

The state of matter with the lowest density is gas. Gases have molecules that are far apart and are free to move around in any direction, resulting in a low density compared to liquids and solids.


Which of the following has the lowest density?

air


Do the gases trapped in the magma cause the magma to erupt to the surface?

No, the fact that the magma has such a low density is why it rises. However, gasses do effect the manner in which it erupts.


Why liquids have lower density than solids?

Not all liquids have lower densities than all solids. Low density solids frequently contain air or other gasses as part of their makeup (cok, Styrofoam, etc)


How can temperature affect density in a liquid when temperature is decreasing?

Typically, a lower temperature denotes higher density, but many LIQUIDS are uncompressible (water actually expands slightly as it freezes) and therefore density in maintained. FLUIDS on the other hand encompass both liquids and gasses, of which gasses ARE compressible and will increase in density as temperature drops.


Does charcoal have a high density or a low density?

Charcoal has a low density because it is porous and lightweight.


Does hydrogen have a low density?

Yes, hydrogen can be considered to have a low density. In fact, it is the least dense of all the elements.


Is sodium a high density or low density element?

Quite low density: 0.968 g·cm−3


Do gasses conduct heat?

yes gasses conduct heat :D the level of conductivity depends on the density of gas , the more dense it is the more will it conduct the heat .


Is low density polyethylene recyclable?

Yes, low density polyethylene is recyclable.
