Solids are merely the more slowed down versions of their liquid states. Also, the difference between a solid and a liquid is not as much compared to a liquid to a gas, as far as how much space is taken up per molecule. In short, basically a liquid's molecules are already pretty close, to become a solid the molecules don't have to get too much closer.

Do gases always have densities less than solids and liquids?

Yes, it is true.


Why liquids have lower density than solids?

Not all liquids have lower densities than all solids. Low density solids frequently contain air or other gasses as part of their makeup (cok, Styrofoam, etc)


Why does sound travel differently in solids liquids and gasses?

Gases, liquids and solid all have different consistencies (densities). So the sound is changed


What are the 3 sound mediums?

The three sound mediums are solids, liquids, and gases. Sound waves travel differently through each medium due to variations in their densities and compressibility.


Physical properties do liquids share with solids?

Liquids and solids both have definite volumes and densities. Additionally, they are relatively incompressible and exhibit resistance to flow. Both states also have closely-packed particles that exhibit strong intermolecular forces.


What are the functions of beaker?

To hold liquids and solids. Similar to a glass in a kitchen but used in a laboratory and has a spout for ease in pouring liquids.


Why does liquids have density?

Their volume and mass are easily tested so it is a nice way to characterise a liquid sample by. Solids and gases also have densities by the way


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.


What is the change of Solids to liquids to solids again called?

Solids to Liquids (Melting) Liquids turning back into a Solid (Freezing) ((SCF))


What item has a fixed volume solids liquids or gases?

solids and liquids


Why do liquids have lower density than solid?

Not all liquids have lower densities than all solids. Low density solids frequently contain air or other gasses as part of their makeup (cok, Styrofoam, etc)


In what ways are particles in solids, liquids, and gases similar?

Particles in solids, liquids, and gases are similar in that they are all made up of atoms or molecules. They also have kinetic energy, meaning they are constantly in motion. Additionally, they can interact with each other through forces such as attraction or repulsion.
