What is the classification of solutions?
- Solutions can be saturated or unsaturated. or - Solutions of solids in liquids, solids in solids, liquids in liquids (rarely used the expression gas in gas).
What is the rank of solids liquids and gases in order of particle speed from the highest speed to the lowest speed?
I think it would be Gas Liquid Solid
Why unlike gases liquids and solids can not be compressed easily?
Intermolecular forces in gases are lower.
Why do solids and liquids behave differently?
Unlike the particles that make up solids and liquids, gas particles have a large amount of empty space between them. The space that gas particles occupy is the gas's volume, which can change because of temperature and pressure.
What are the major difference between a gas and solids or liquids?
solids - tightly packed and unable to move liquids- tightly packed but able move gases- spread out and able to move
How mixtures form?
mixtures can be formed by physically putting two or more substances together. Mixtures can be formed between solids and liquids, solids and solids, liquids and liquids, solids and gas, liquids and gas, gas and gas
What is the classification of solutions?
- Solutions can be saturated or unsaturated. or - Solutions of solids in liquids, solids in solids, liquids in liquids (rarely used the expression gas in gas).
How is gas different from solids and liquids?
Both liquids and Solids have definite volumes
When a liquid is changed to a solid?
Solids changing to liquids are melting Liquids changing to solids are freezing Solids changing to gas are subliming Liquids changing to gas are boiling Gases changing to liquids are condensing.
What are the solids and liquids and gas you can find on Saturn?
the solids and liquids you can find on Saturn is only gas which is around it's rings.
Why do luiquids evaporate and solids do not?
liquids turn into gas and solids don't and gas evaporates
Is gas dense?
Gas is not dense, solids should be dense, liquids are dense, but not as much as solids.
What is the rank of solids liquids and gases in order of particle speed from the highest speed to the lowest speed?
I think it would be Gas Liquid Solid
What units does the us use to measure solids liquids and gas?
This variation is typically small for solids and liquids but much greater for gases.
How are gasses and liquids similar in shape and volume?
ANSWER unlike solids, both liquids and gases can change their shape to fit the container in which they are held. however, gases can also change volume unlike liquids.
Why unlike gases liquids and solids can not be compressed easily?
Intermolecular forces in gases are lower.
Why do liquids and solids expand with temperature and not compressible like a gas?
Most solids and liquids expand with temperature (ice is an exception - it contracts with increased temperature) because there is more energy in the particles, and therefore they move faster and take up more space. They are not compressible, however, because the particles in solids and liquids are touching each other, and so have a specific volume, unlike gases.
