Gases have much less density compared to solids and liquids due to the larger spaces between gas particles. This makes gases easier to compress and to expand to fill a container.
Density refers to the mass per unit volume of a substance and is a key characteristic that varies among different states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. Generally, solids have the highest density due to tightly packed particles, while liquids have lower density as particles are less tightly packed. Gases have the lowest density, as their particles are far apart and occupy a larger volume. Thus, the state of matter significantly influences a substance's density.
Not all liquids have lower densities than all solids. Low density solids frequently contain air or other gasses as part of their makeup (cok, Styrofoam, etc)
The expected order of density for matter typically follows this general hierarchy: gases have the lowest density, followed by liquids, and then solids, which usually have the highest densities. Among solids, metals generally exhibit higher densities compared to non-metals. Additionally, within specific categories like solids, the density can vary significantly depending on the material's structure and composition.
Molecular movement occurs primarily in gases, liquids, and to some extent in solids. In gases, molecules move freely and rapidly, resulting in high kinetic energy and low density. In liquids, molecules are close together but can slide past one another, allowing for moderate movement and density. In solids, molecular movement is limited to vibrations around fixed positions, leading to lower energy and density compared to gases and liquids.
The kinetic energy is lowest in solids, higher in liquids, and highest in gases.
Gases
Gases have the highest particle speed, followed by liquids, and then solids. Gases have particles that are widely spaced and move quickly, while liquids have particles that move more slowly due to stronger intermolecular forces, and solids have the slowest particles due to their fixed positions.
Solids
Gases have the highest kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids. -apex
particle density
Generally, the density of solids, liquids, and gases decreases as they are heated. When heated, the particles in these substances gain energy and move more, causing the substance to expand, which leads to a decrease in density.
The density of solids is generally higher compared to liquids and gases because the particles in solids are more closely packed together. Liquids have a higher density than gases due to their closer particle arrangement, but lower density than solids. Gases have the lowest density as their particles are the most spread out and have the most kinetic energy.
Radiation can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. The extent to which radiation penetrates these materials depends on factors such as the type of radiation, the energy level, and the density of the material.

In general, the solid state has the highest density due to the closely packed arrangement of particles. Liquids have a lower density compared to solids because particles are more spread out. Gases have the lowest density as their particles are far apart and can move freely.
