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.

Do gases always have densities less than solids and liquids?

Yes, it is true.


Are most of the elements solids true of false?

True


Why do the gas laws apply only to gases Why don and rsquot they apply to solids or liquids?

Gas laws are derived from the kinetic theory of gases, which assumes that gas particles are in constant motion and have negligible volume. Solids and liquids have stronger intermolecular forces that keep their particles closer together, preventing the same level of random motion seen in gases. Therefore, the assumptions underlying the gas laws do not hold true for solids and liquids.


Are the force of attraction between the particles in a gas very weak?

Yes, it is true.


Is it true liquids have an indefinite shape or volume?

Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. They are not shapeless like gases, but they do not have a fixed shape like solids.


Why can gases be squeezed much more than solids and liquids?

Gases have more space between their particles, which allows them to be compressed more than solids and liquids. In gases, the particles are in constant random motion and have higher kinetic energy, making them more easily squeezed together. Solids and liquids have stronger intermolecular forces that resist compression.


Is it true liquids expand more than gases?

No! Gases have the most potential for expansion. Their molecules are farther apart and more loosly held than either liquids or solids. In fact, it is their molecular distance and ability to expand apart from each other that make them gases.


Diffusion occurs both in liquids and gases but hardly at all in solids?

Diffusion in solids is slower because the particles are tightly packed and have limited mobility. In gases, diffusion is faster due to the high kinetic energy of the particles and the absence of strong intermolecular forces. In liquids, diffusion is slower compared to gases but still occurs because the particles have more freedom to move than in solids.


Is it true that only solids and liquids are matter?

No, it's not even approximately true.


Is it true that liquids and gases are fluids?

Yes.
