Gas particles (atoms or molecules) have enough kinetic energy to overcome any attractive forces (intermolecular attractions) that will keep them in solid or liquid phases. That KE keeps them moving randomly, bouncing off of each other, with a large space between them. This large space-- volume, makes the density less than the same substance in liquid or solid phases.

Which statement best compares the density among the three states of matter?
Low density: gases Medium density: liquids High density: solids
Do liquids have high or low density?
Denser than gases but (most often) less dense than solids.
Why do solids have the highest density and gases have a lower density?
Solids tend to have a higher density because the molecules are arranged closer together where as in gases the molecules are further apart. Since density is Mass/Volume, and solids have more mass per volume than gases it is more dense
How is density related to the states of matter?
Solids have the highest density, followed by liquids and then gases.
Why do some gases travel faster than others?
some gases travel faster than other gases due to the gases density and the energy of the medium that the gase is traveling through.
Do gases have low or high density?
Gasses have an incredibly low density, less than a liquid or a solid.
Why diffusion is maximum in gases?
rate of diffusion is inversely proposnal to density, density of gas is less. so diffusion rate is high
Which statement best compares the density among the three states of matter?
Low density: gases Medium density: liquids High density: solids
Do liquids have high or low density?
Denser than gases but (most often) less dense than solids.
Is the density of liquids the same as the density of gases?
No, it isn't.
What happened with density of gases on heating?
As gases are heated up, its volume increases, resulting in a decrease of density.
Is the density of gases a characteristic property?
The density is a physical characteristic, specific for each material, including gases.
Why does a gas not have density?
All materials - including gases - have a density !
Do gases have density?
Gas, as well as everything in the universe has density, though some densities are either too high or too low to be detected but for gases, the density can vary over a wide range because the molecules are free to move.Gases have a lower density compared to liquids because their particles are more spaced out hence occupies more volume. Gases have no fixed shape or volume and will always spread out to fill any container.
Which phase has the lowest density when comparing solids liquids and gases?
Gases
What has low density?
Gases, for example
Why do solids have the highest density and gases have a lower density?
Solids tend to have a higher density because the molecules are arranged closer together where as in gases the molecules are further apart. Since density is Mass/Volume, and solids have more mass per volume than gases it is more dense
