Because the atoms or molecules in a gas are several orders of magnitude further apart than they are in a liquid or solid.

Is the density of gaseous substance likely to be larger or smaller then the density of liquid or solid substance at the same temperature and why?
Temperature in this instance will not affect density, but rather pressure. The density of the gas will be much smaller than the density of a liquid or solid of the same chemical because it is a gas. The formula for density is mass over volume, and a gas has no measurable mass, making the gas always less dense than the liquid and the solid.
The triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure conditions at which?
... the substance can exist in the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases all at the same time.
What type of change is it when a solid turns into a gas?
Sublimation - the process by which a substance goes directly from the solid to the gaseous state without passing through the liquid state.
What happens when a substance changes state from a solid or liquid?
This change in the state of matter (liquid to solid) is called freezing.This change in the state of matter (solid to liquid) is called melting.They are physical change, the chemical nature of the molecules is not changed.
How does the density of a liquid compare with the density of a solid?
That depends on the liquid and the solid. Liquid mercury has a very high density. Liquid gasoline has a very low density. At the melting point the density of a liquid and a solid are almost the same.
When a substance changes from one state to another do the chemical properties change?
From solid to liquid, from liquid to gaseous, from gaseous to liquid, from liquid to solid, and in sublimation from solid to gaseous or the reverse, chemical properties do not change.
Which is the only planet where the same substance can exist in gaseous and liquid and solid form?
earth is the only planet where the same substance can exist in gaseous , liquid , and solid form

What is the gaseous state of a substance that is normally a liquid or solid?
Vapour
What is the gaseous state of a substance that is normally a liquid or solid called?
Vapour
When is a substance in the gaseous phase called a vapor?
when a substance exists as a liquid or solid under ordinary conditions its gaseous phase is called a vapor
What is solubiuty?
Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent to form a homogeneous solution of the solute in the solvent.
Solid to liquid to gas?
The process of transforming a substance from a solid state to a liquid state is celled melting. The process of transforming a substance from a liquid state into a gaseous state is called vaporization.
What happens to a substance during changing between a solid to a liquid?
When a substance changes from a solid to a liquid and vice versa, its density changes.
How do you compare the density of iron in the solid liquid and gaseous states?
by hitting your self in the head
What was liquid before liquid?
If a substance that exists in liquid state was not in liquid state then it was in its other states of matter namely solid, gaseous.
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid it is placed?
The solid cannot float in this liquid.
