Basically, it concerns the particulate nature of matter. Solid/liquid has more molecules per unit of volume than gas and hence the mass of the gas is less than that of a solid/liquid when their volumes are the same. With reference to the equation D=M/V, the density of the gas is less dense than solid/liquid.
Hope this helps. :)
What else can I help you with?
Are solids Less dense than liquids?
Not necessarily. The density of a substance depends on its mass and volume, so it can vary for both solids and liquids. In general, solids are denser than liquids because the particles in solids are typically more closely packed together.
Why is gas denser than liquids and solids?
Gas isn't denser than liquids and solids. It's the other way around. And THIS is because the atoms in liquids and solids are closer together and there is less space to move around. In solid objects, the atoms are so close and compacted they don't move. in liquids, the atoms are a little bit farther apart. in gases, they are very spread out, making the amount of atoms LESS dense than the solids.
Does change in pressure affect the solubility of solids?
The solubility of solids and liquids show virtually no changes with pressure. However, solubility increases with pressure in the solubility of gases in liquids.
What do gases and liquids have in common that is not true for solids?
They both expand when heated. They both can be compressed to take up less space. They are both fluids, that is, they flow (particles move freely around one another) and they take the shape of their container.
Why gases are easier to compress than solids or liquids are?
Gases are easier to compress than solids or liquids because gas particles are more spread out and have more space between them. This allows for the gas to be compressed more easily by reducing the volume of the container, as opposed to solids and liquids which have their particles closer together and experience more resistance to compression.
What is always less dense than solids?
Gases are less dense than solids.
Are solids Less dense than liquids?
Not necessarily. The density of a substance depends on its mass and volume, so it can vary for both solids and liquids. In general, solids are denser than liquids because the particles in solids are typically more closely packed together.
Are solids dense and incompressible?
Solids are typically dense, meaning they have a high mass per unit volume. They are not completely incompressible, but they are much less compressible than liquids and gases due to the strong intermolecular forces holding their particles in place.
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.
Do gases always have densities less than solids and liquids?
Yes, it is true.
Are solids incompressible materials?
Solids are not completely incompressible, but they are much less compressible than liquids and gases. This means that solids can be compressed slightly under high pressure, but their volume does not change significantly compared to liquids and gases.
Why are gases heat insulator?
Because they conduct heat less efficiently than do liquids or solids.
Why are solids less effected by pressure than liquids or gases?
Solids are less changed in volume by pressure than fluids (liquids or gasses or plasmas) because the atoms or molecules in solids are more closely bound by the chemical bonds that form them. JCF
Is gas dense?
Gas is not dense, solids should be dense, liquids are dense, but not as much as solids.
Are gases less rigid then liquids and solids?
Yes.
Are gases more dense than solids?
In general, gases are less dense than solids because the particles in gases are more spaced out compared to the particles in solids. This is due to the lower attractive forces between gas particles, allowing them to move more freely and occupy a greater volume.
What solids made of?
Particles. Just like liquids and gases. The difference between them is that solids have tighter packed particles that are less able to move freely
