Of substances that are liquid at room temperature, Mercury will be the most dense, with a specific gravity of 13.5, or thirteen and one half times heavier than water. Ether is probably the least dense common liquid with a specific gravity of .73, about 25% lighter than water.
What else can I help you with?
What are much less in gases than solids and liquids?
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.
Why do liquids have lower density than solid?
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)
What of medium does molecular movement occur?
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.
Why are gases not always visible while most liquids and solids are visible?
It's mostly to do with density. In simple terms, gases have very low densities compared to solids and liquids, so that their molecules/atoms cause very little scatting of light as it passes through them.
What physical characteristic does not apply to gas?
One physical characteristic that does not apply to gases is a definite shape. Unlike solids and liquids, gases do not have a fixed shape; they take the shape of their container. Additionally, gases have low density compared to solids and liquids, and they can be easily compressed, which is another characteristic that distinguishes them from other states of matter.
How does the kinetic of solids liquids and gases compare?
The kinetic energy is lowest in solids, higher in liquids, and highest in gases.
Which phase has the lowest density when comparing solids liquids and gases?
Gases
When comparing solids liquids and gases which phase generally has the greatest density?
Solids
What is the rank of solids liquids and gases in order of particle speed from the highest speed to the lowest speed?
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.
How does the kinetic energy of solids liquids and gases compare?
Gases have the highest kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids. -apex
Are solids better conductors than liquids and gases?
particle density
What happens to the density of solids liquids and gases when they are heated?
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.
What is the difference in density for all 3 states of matter?
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.
What is the normal relationship between solids liquids gases and density?
they all come from water
Does radiation travel through solids liquids or gases?
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.
Which statement best compares the density among the three states of matter?
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.
What has the highest velocity and can move through solids liquids or gases?
Gamma Rays and/or velociraptors.
