Liquids and gases are amorphous (shapeless), viscous (can flow), and diffuse (have internal space) due to the movement of their molecules.

Do molecules move faster in a liquid?
Molecules actually move faster in liquid because they have more space between them to move about. That's why liquid can flow, and a solid cannot. =)
How are molecules in a particular solid different from the molecules of the substance in a liquid form?
molecules in solids are stationary whilst those in gases and liquids move around, more though in liquid.
How are liquids and gases different in the amount of space between particles?
Liquid molecules are very tightly packed while in gas it is loose.
Why does diffusion happen in gases and liquids but not in solids?
the force of attraction between the particles gases is weak force of attraction between the particles in liquid is a bit strong force of attraction between the particles in solid is strongest this is the right answers,,,,,dont worry :)
What is the definition for liquid solid and gas?
They are the three states of matter for all substances. A solid has molecules packed tightly together; a liquid has molecules that have some room to move; gases have molecules that can move freely. eg for water the solid state is ice, the liquid state water and the gas state water vapour (steam)
The properties of solid liquid and gases?
Solid molecules are rigid and has a shape. Liquid molecules are less rigid than solid and the molecules move. Gases have no shape and its molecules are free floating and move at rapid speeds against each other.
In what way are liquids and gases different?
The molecules of liquid are loosely packed but they can not move out of the container their movement is restricted to the cotainer only but the molecules of gases can move freely without any restriction.
What are the chemical properties of gases?
It might be better to rephrase the question as: What are the physical properties of a gas? The chemical properties of molecules are less a function of their phase than the chemical properties of the molecules themselves. The physical properties of a molecule in the gas phase versus the same molecule in the liquid phase would then be: Gases have higher diffusivity. Gases have lower viscosity. Gases are compressible. Gases have lower density. There are many other phyical property differences that could be cited.
Why convection occurs only the liquid s and gases only but not in solids?
The molecules in solids are not free to move around as they are in liquids and gasses. It's the movement of the molecules that creates the convection currents.
Is Molecule movement is smallest a solid liquid or Gas?
Molecule movement is the smallest in a solid. In a solid, the molecules are closely packed and have limited freedom to move and vibrate. In liquids and gases, the molecules have more space and freedom to move, resulting in greater molecular movement.
What are the properties of a liquid that was formed by two gases?
This is a mixture of liquids (ex.: liquid air).
What are the states of matters basic properties?
solid, liquid, and gases
Conduction in gases and liquid depends on the movement of?
Ions
How are molecules moving from vapor to liquid?
Molecules speed up when they are turned from liquid into vapor. This is because they have more freedom to move around due to gaseous properties. Gases conform to the volume of the container, so they have more room to spread out, compared to liquids that do not have the ability to change volume
What properties do all gases share?
they are all in the state of a gas
What are the physical properties used to describe matter?
Solid, liquid, and gases.
Movement of heat in a liquid or gas?
The movement of heat in gases and liquids are called convection.
