Gases spread out faster than liquids, and liquids spread out faster than solids.
Gases, liquids, and solids are the three main phases of matter. A material moves to a different phase if its kinetic energy is changed enough (Kinetic energy is a measure of heat or temperature). For example, if you heat an ice cube (solid water), it will melt into water (liquid water).
Gases have the highest kinetic energy. The molecules inside a gas are the fastest moving of the three phases. That means gas will spread out the fastest.
Kinetic energy:
Gas ---> Liquid ---> Solid [Decreasing]
Solid ---> Liquid ---> Gas [Increasing]

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.
What is A Grade 8 Science Experiment powered by liquids or gases?
Gases.
What is the movement of gases or liquids from a cooler spot to a warmer spot?
Convection is the movement of gases or liquids from a cooler spot to a warmer spot.
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.
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 / . . .
What are things that flow?
liquids,gases
Sound travels slower through gases than through liquids and solids because the molecules in gases are?
sound travels slower through gases as compared to solids and liquids because there is more inter-moleculer space in gas as compared to solids and liquids.
What sort of things?
liquids, gases. gooey things,
What kind of materials are opaque?
most solid materials are opaque because they are dense. things like liquids and gases are more spread out, that is why they aren't opaque.
What happens to liquids and gases as they are heated?
The molecules in side move or spread apart
Why gases have large empty space?
the molecules of gases are spread out very far apart and are not being restricted like solids or liquids
What do you know about solid molecules?
The molecules in a solid have less energy than those in gases and liquids. They vibrate about fixed positions. Their inter molecular forces are very strong compared to liquids and gases.
What do you know about a solid molecule?
The molecules in a solid have less energy than those in gases and liquids. They vibrate about fixed positions. Their inter molecular forces are very strong compared to liquids and gases.
Are liquid particles spread apart?
yes. solids are more dense than liquids and the particles in gases are more spread out and faster.
What things have layers?
minerals, gases, liquids, food to name a few.
How are gases and liquids alike?
liquids and gases both have an Indefinite shape. nd some liquids turn into gases with heat.
Does a liquid have to consist of water?
Water is a liquid. Anything that has molecules more spread out than solids but less spread out than gases are liquids.
