Why is the rate of diffusion of gases more rapid than that of liquids?

Gases diffuse faster than liquids because the intermolecular forces holding gases together are significantly weaker than those holding liquids together. This allows the molecules of the gas to move faster than those of a liquid.


Why rate of diffusion in liquid is slower than in gases?

The rate of diffusion in liquids is slower than in gases because the particles in liquids are closer together and have stronger intermolecular forces, which hinders their movement compared to gas particles. This results in a slower diffusion rate in liquids.


Can you list ten properties of liquids?

The particles are not fixed.The liquid will change to the shape of the container it is held in.There is some attraction between particles.The particles have more kinetic energy than in a solid state.The particles have less kinetic energy than in a gaseous state.When cooled liquids may solidify to a solid.When heated liquids may evaporate to gases.1L of pure H2O at 4 degrees celcius at normal pressure has a mass of 1kg


Polar covalent molecules are more likely to exist as liquids than gases. Explain this in terms of intermolecular forces?

Polar covalent molecules have dipole-dipole interactions, which are stronger than the London dispersion forces in nonpolar molecules. This results in a higher boiling point, making them more likely to exist as liquids rather than gases at room temperature.


Why are gases more compressible than liquids?

With gases, there is already a lot of space in between the particles. Therefore, the particles can be pushed more closely together than in liquids, since the particles in liquids are already much closer together.

Why can't liquids change volume but gasses can?

The intermolecular strength is higher in liquids than in gases.


Is the density of liquids the same as the density of gases?

No, the density of liquids is generally higher than the density of gases. This is because the particles in liquids are closer together and have more intermolecular forces compared to gases. Consequently, liquids have a higher mass per unit volume, resulting in a higher density.


Is true about density and states of matter for most substances?

The density of solid state of matter is higher than the density of liquids and the density of liquids is higher than the density of gases.


What is true about density and states of matter for most substances?

The density of solid state of matter is higher than the density of liquids and the density of liquids is higher than the density of gases.


What has a higher density liquids or gases?

If you think of density in terms of particles this becomes easier to remember. In which would the particles be closer together? A liquid, so the liquid is denser.


Do gas have higher or lower densitie than a solid or a liquid?

Gases have lower densties than liquids or solids.


Why are liquids better than gases?

Liquids are not better than gases; this depends only on the desired applications.


How does these three terms density rigidity and fluidity apply to particles in the solid gas and liquid phase?

Solids and liquids are denser than gases. That is has more tightly packed molecules. Solids are more rigid than liquids and gases. That is they retain their shape when force is applied(with exceptions) When too much force is applied they break rather than changing shape Liquids and gases are more fluid than solids.


Why is the rate of diffusion of gases more rapid than that of liquids?

Gases diffuse faster than liquids because the intermolecular forces holding gases together are significantly weaker than those holding liquids together. This allows the molecules of the gas to move faster than those of a liquid.


Are gases more dense than liquid?

In general, gases are less dense than liquids because gas molecules are more spread out and have higher kinetic energy compared to liquid molecules, which are more closely packed. This results in gases having lower density than liquids. However, there are exceptions, such as some liquid metals that have lower density compared to certain gases at normal conditions.


Why do molecules of gas travel faster than liquids?

Molecules of gas have higher average kinetic energy compared to molecules in liquids, which allows them to move at faster speeds. Additionally, gases have greater spacing between molecules and weaker intermolecular forces, leading to more frequent collisions and higher velocities in gases compared to liquids.


What makes up solids liquids and gases?

Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases
