A gas takes up a greater volume than a solid because there is more space between the atoms in a gas. This might not always be true because of the vagueness of your question. One cubic centimeter of gas can fill a vacuumed chamber of a greater volume, but it can also fill a one cubic centimeter container just like a one cubic centimeter solid can.

Does ice go from solid to liquid to gas?
Yes. Ice can melt from a solid to a liquid and then the water (liquid) evaporates into a gas and goes up into the air.
Is a football a solid liquid or gas?
Gas. A soccer ball is filled with gas under pressure.
Is foam a solid in gas solution?
There is more than one kind of foam. Styrofoam is a solid mixed with gas. Soap suds are made of a liquid mixed with gas. I would call foam, in technical terms, a composite material. It's made of more than one thing.
Is soot a solid?
Soot, or smoke, is composed of particulates--tiny pieces of a solid--suspended in gas, or air. It is solid, but acts like a gas. The particulates come from whatever fuel is being burned and are carried by the hot air produced by a fire.
What is matter and give me three example of matter?
Matter is objects that take up space and have mass. Three examples of matter are: 1) Solid 2) Liquid 3) Gas
What is absorption in chemistry?
It is the take up of a gas by a solid or liquid or the take up of a liquid by a solid.
What does a solid a gas and a liquid have in common?
they all take up space
Is matter a solid or liquid?
solid and liquid because gas doesn't take up space it just floats away
Is a solid liquid or gas matter?
solid and liquid because gas doesn't take up space it just floats away
Is Jupiter made up of solid liquid or gas?
It is mostly gas, but it has a solid core.
Do solids take up space?
A solid does take up space. Although it doesn't take up as much mass if it were to be a liquid or a gas.For example ice doesn't take up as much space as water or water vapor 123456789
How does particles react when they change from a solid to a liquid and to a gas?
The particles become more energetic, speed up, and spread out more.
Is a bowl of sugar a solid liquid or gas?
Sugar is a solid. Look up crystal structure and aldoses and keytoses for more information on sugars and their crystals.
Is goo a solid a liquid or a gas?
Goo doesn't really take up the shape of the container so it is not a liquid also goo isn't breathable ( if it was a gas you would probably die from a whiff of it) so it is a solid
Why would gas take up more volume than any of the solids?
Gas is matter in a relatively high temperature range, where the molecules bounce off each other, at relatively high speeds, which makes gas take up a lot more space.Additional Information:At a certain temperature and pressure, all materials have a point where the individual atoms in the element or compound have enough energy to disrupt the type of bond that rendered it a solid. More can be read about the different types of bonds here:http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/chemical/bond.htmlDepending on the material, the pressure, and the temperature, the volume of a gas will usually take up more space than a solid, but it is certainly plausible to have a gas that takes up less space than a solid if the temperature and pressure are high enough. The equation PV=nRT (ideal gas law) is a good approximation of what to expect at different temperatures for different substances. Van Der Waal, Maxwell, Pauli, and Plank also came up with interesting equations concerning the unusual behaviour of matter when various interesting things are done to it that involve pressure, heat, and volume.
What is toast made out of gas solid or liquid?
Liquids take the form of whatever they are in, such as a glass of water. Gas are freefloating. Most cannot be seen. The most common gas on earth, is oxygen. Solids can easily be picked up. Toast is a solid.
Why can air move more easily than water?
This is beacause air or Gas has fewer molecules that are clumped up together compared to liquid or solids. So they move freely and take up more of the shape of the compartment or container than the liquid or solid.
