Which properties are present in liquid and gas but not in solid?

Fluidity and compressibility are properties present in liquids and gases but not in solids. Liquids and gases can flow and take the shape of their container, unlike solids which have a fixed shape. Gases can be compressed under pressure, unlike solids which have a fixed volume.


Why gases are compressible?

Gases are compressible because their molecules bounce off of each other instead of sticking together. The molecules of solids and liquids stick together instead of moving freely.


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.


What propertys do solids and liquids not share?

Solids have a definite shape and volume, while liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Liquids can flow and take the shape of the container they are in, unlike solids which have a fixed shape.


What are some examples of how gases are different from liquids and solids?

I can only tell you that gases are does not have a difinite shape and volume . E.g air / nitrogen / carbon dioxide / water vapour / . . .


How are gasses and liquids similar in shape and volume?

ANSWER unlike solids, both liquids and gases can change their shape to fit the container in which they are held. however, gases can also change volume unlike liquids.


Why do liquids and solids expand with temperature and not compressible like a gas?

Most solids and liquids expand with temperature (ice is an exception - it contracts with increased temperature) because there is more energy in the particles, and therefore they move faster and take up more space. They are not compressible, however, because the particles in solids and liquids are touching each other, and so have a specific volume, unlike gases.


Why are liquids sometimes more practical to use in a hydraulic system than gases?

Because liquids cannot be easily compressed into a smaller space.


Why do fluids liquids and gases flow?

because, unlike solids, they can't sustain shearing stress


Are solids squidgy?

No, solids are not squidgy. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, unlike squidgy materials which are flexible and can be easily deformed.


What do gases and liquids have in common that is not true for solids?

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.


What does this state of matter doesn't flow mean?

When we say that a state of matter "doesn't flow," we are typically referring to solids. Unlike liquids and gases, which can change shape and move freely, solids have a fixed shape and volume due to the strong intermolecular forces that hold their particles in place. As a result, solids maintain their structure and do not flow like liquids or gases, which can easily take the shape of their container.
