Gas isn't denser than liquids and solids. It's the other way around. And THIS is because the atoms in liquids and solids are closer together and there is less space to move around. In solid objects, the atoms are so close and compacted they don't move. in liquids, the atoms are a little bit farther apart. in gases, they are very spread out, making the amount of atoms LESS dense than the solids.

What is the classification of solutions?

Solutions can be classified as saturated (maximum amount of solute dissolved at a given temperature), unsaturated (less solute than saturation point), or supersaturated (more solute than normally possible at that temperature).


Unlike solids and liquids a gas will?

take the shape and volume of its container, as the gas particles are free to move and spread out to fill the available space. This is due to the lower intermolecular forces between gas particles compared to solids and liquids.


Why gases are easier to compress than solids or liquids are?

Gases are easier to compress than solids or liquids because gas particles are more spread out and have more space between them. This allows for the gas to be compressed more easily by reducing the volume of the container, as opposed to solids and liquids which have their particles closer together and experience more resistance to compression.


Why the vapour pressure of solids are far less than those of liquids?

The vapour pressure of solids are far less than those of liquid because solids have fixed arrangement of molecules and between atom of solids their is strong intermolecular forces that held the molecules in place and the molecules of liquid have less intermolecular forces as compared to solids.


Is the attraction in particles stronger in liquids then solids?

In general, the attraction between particles in liquids is weaker than in solids. In liquids, particles have more freedom to move around, which is why liquids can flow and take the shape of their container. In solids, particles are held more tightly together, which is why solids have a definite shape and volume.

How does sound travel in solid liquid and gas?

In solids, sound travels through particles vibrating in a fixed position, transmitting the vibrations. In liquids, sound travels by compressing and expanding the medium (density changes) to transmit the energy. In gases, sound travels through the transfer of pressure pulses as molecules collide and pass on the energy.
