The difference is that gases are just like air, a lot of free room, therefore the molecules move around, water/liquid is a little more condensed so molecules move less than gases, but more than solids, solids are completely compact so molecules have very little movement, but are always moving, the only thing that can make them stop moving is if the temperature reached ABSOLUTE ZERO

Gases most easily form a solution, as they have higher molecular movement and can mix more readily with other substances. Solids and liquids typically require more energy input to form a homogeneous solution.


Does air travel through solids liquids and gases?

Air can travel through some kinds of solids, if they are porous. Otherwise it can't. It can travel through liquids in the form of bubbles. It does not exactly travel through gases so much as mix with them.


Why are solids less effected by pressure than liquids or gases?

Solids are less changed in volume by pressure than fluids (liquids or gasses or plasmas) because the atoms or molecules in solids are more closely bound by the chemical bonds that form them. JCF
