The tendency of gases to spread themselves out thinly is called diffusion. Diffusion is thus a process in which the particles travel from a high concentration area to an area of low concentration.

How fast do things spread out in liquids compared to gases?
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.
Are gas particles packed close together?
No, they are spread out. Gases are less dense than solids and liquids, which is caused by the particles being spread out.
In which state of matter do the particles spread apart and fill all the space available to them?
Very probable this space is empty, is vacuum.
Do gases contain unbalanced numbers of electrons and protons?
Neutral gases do not; ionized gases do.
Why gases spread quickly?
Gases spread quickly because it has more pleetah in it so it spreads vastly
Gases have a tendency to expand. what's the best synonym for expand?
Collide
Can a gas get bigger and spread out?
yes, gases can get bigger and spread out.
When gases spread out you say they?
Disperse?
Gases have a tendency to expand. What is the best synonym for expand?
Collide
Can gases get bigger and spread out?
Yes because if you cut a gas pipe it will spread out also get bigger.
The ability of gases to spread rapidly through other gases is explained by what?
Constant random motion of particles
What is diffusibility?
DIFFUSIBILITY The quality of being diffusible; capability of being poured or spread out.
Why do gases spread fast?
because the intermolecular structure is far apart
Are easily compressed because their particles are spread far apart?
Gases.
Answers for True or False Viscosity is the tendency of a fluid to resist flow Both gases and liquids can display viscosity?
Truw
Is a fluid a gas and a liquid?
Fluids are substances that have the tendency to flow. Gases and liquids are both fluids because they both flow.
