What can gases do that solids cant?
They can take the shape of their container, and some are able to rise above air (some gases are lighter and some are heavier than room air.)
Why rate of diffusion in liquid is slower than in gases?
The rate of diffusion in liquids slower than that of gases because gases have low density and its float in the air.
Examples of light and heavy gases on the periodic table?
left of the periodic table are the gases. as u go down the gases keep on becoming heavier
Why nitrogen diffuse faster than chlorine?
The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of that gas. So, lighter gases will diffuse faster than heavier gases. The molar mass for N2 gas is 28 g/mole and that for Cl2 gas is about 71 g/mol, so N2 will diffuse faster.
Why does gas move slower in cold air?
Gases move slower in air because (due to atomic theory) all atoms bounce off their containers when heat is added, and vice versa.
What determines if gases or vapors are lighter or heavier than air?
Their densities
When making a vortex using air do you want gases that are lighter or heavier than air?
Well, when I made a vortex using air, I used gases that are lighter.
Why is water heavier than the two gasses that compose it?
fluids are heavier than gases. When hydrogen its by itself is lighter than water as so the oxygen is also lighter. Once combined they form a fluid thus the combination of two gases produced a fluid which will turn heavier.
If ice became a gas would it be heavier than a solid?
No, all gases are lighter than solids
Can heavier gas move upwards?
Yes heavier gas can move upwards or downwards at the same time as coolgas is moving in the opposite direction. For example in a fringe. Why do you think theyy put the fruit and vegetable conatiners at the bottom of the fringe? Because hot air rises and cold air sinks. Hope this helps!!
What is heterosphere mean?
The atmosphere above 80km (50 mi) and the homosphere where gases are stratified, with concentrations of the heavier gases decreasing more rapidly with altitude than concentrations of the lighter gases
Why lighter gases diffuse more rapidly than havier gases?
The idea is that they tend to be made up of lighter molecules; on average, these move faster (for a given temperature) than heavier (actually, more massive) molecules.
What can gases do that solids cant?
They can take the shape of their container, and some are able to rise above air (some gases are lighter and some are heavier than room air.)
Which object forms by the contraction of a large sphere of gases causing the nuclear fusion of lighter elements into heavier element?
A star

Which object forms the contraction of a large sphere of gases causing the nuclear fusion of lighter elements into heavier elements?
molecular cloud
Two gases CH4 and SO2 effuse through a tiny opening. Which will move faster?
The rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass (Graham's Law).Put another way, the small, lighter weight gas will move faster than the heavier gas.Molar mass CH4 = 16 g/mol.Molar mass SO2 = 48 g/molThus, CH4 will move faster.
