Because they won't resist as much because in one volume of,gas there are less molecules per unit volume than in the same volume of a liquid or solid. There are less molecules in a gas to push back.

Explain why liquids and gases are easier to compress compared to solids?

Liquids and gases are easier to compress compared to solids because their particles are more loosely packed and have more space between them. This allows for the particles to be pushed closer together when pressure is applied, resulting in a decrease in volume. In solids, the particles are already closely packed together, making it more difficult to compress them further.


What is the rank of solids liquids and gases in order of particle speed from the highest speed to the lowest speed?

Gases have the highest particle speed, followed by liquids, and then solids. Gases have particles that are widely spaced and move quickly, while liquids have particles that move more slowly due to stronger intermolecular forces, and solids have the slowest particles due to their fixed positions.


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.


How does the kinetic energy of solids liquids and gases compare?

Gases have the highest kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids. -apex


Can you please-Compare the melting points of substances that are gases at room temperature with solids and liquids?

Substances that are gases at room temperature typically have lower melting points than solids and liquids because their intermolecular forces are weaker. Gases have molecules that are further apart, making it easier to overcome these weak forces to change their state. Solids and liquids have stronger intermolecular forces that require more energy to break, resulting in higher melting points.

Which state of matter cannot be compressed?

Solids and liquids are difficult compress. Gases, however, are easy; they respond to changes in temperature and volume.


What are much less in gases than solids and liquids?

Gases have much less density compared to solids and liquids due to the larger spaces between gas particles. This makes gases easier to compress and to expand to fill a container.

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 do you use liquids not solids or gases in thermometers?

because liquids can give us the right temperature but solids and gases


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.


All solids liquids and gases are?

some solids,liquids and gases are dangers some are not dangers


Can you compression a liquid why or why not?

Yes, you can compress gases, liquids, and solids. However, liquids and solids are MUCH less compressible than gases, and for many practical purposes you can consider them "incompressible". This means that a high pressure will only cause a very small change in volume.


What item has a fixed volume solids liquids or gases?

solids and liquids


About speed of sounds in different media?

the speed of sound depends on the material through which it's passing. it is greater in solids than in liquids or gases because the molecules in a solid are closer togather than in a liquid or gas.Material Speed m/sAir(0°C) 330Water 1400Concrete 5000Steel 6000"compression-type" sound will travel faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases, because the solids are more difficult to compress than liquids, while liquids in turn are more difficult to compress than gases.


What makes up solids liquids and gases?

Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases


How does the kinetic of solids liquids and gases compare?

The kinetic energy is lowest in solids, higher in liquids, and highest in gases.
