Of course, solid has a heavier mass than liquid but there is a specific reason. This is because solid, the particles are packed closely together and because they form a material that is packed so closely, it makes it have more weight. Water has a less amount of mass because it is loosely packed and can be separated like when you pour water, it separates which means it has a lower mass.

Remember that solid is closely packed together so it gathers as one material and doesn't separate while liquid is loosely packed and can be separated.

What is the difference between solids liquids and gases in terms of kinetic energy?

Solids have the lowest kinetic energy as their particles are tightly packed and have limited motion. Liquids have higher kinetic energy than solids as their particles can move past each other. Gases have the highest kinetic energy as their particles are far apart and move freely.


What is a ounces?

Ounces are a unit of measurement that can measure either solids or liquids. When measuring solids, there are 16 ounces in a pound. In terms of liquids, an ounce is 1/20 of a pint or 1/128 of a gallon.


Can liquids and solid be compressed?

No, because solid and liquid have a definite shape. In practical terms the above it correct. However with great pressure many solids and liquids can be compressed into a more compact arrangement.

Why are gases not always visible while most liquids and solids are visible?

It's mostly to do with density. In simple terms, gases have very low densities compared to solids and liquids, so that their molecules/atoms cause very little scatting of light as it passes through them.


Explain why liquids and gases are easier to compress compared to solids?

Liquids and gases are easier to compress compared to solids because their particles are more loosely packed and have more space between them. This allows for the particles to be pushed closer together when pressure is applied, resulting in a decrease in volume. In solids, the particles are already closely packed together, making it more difficult to compress them further.


Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes?

Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
