Think of it like this, a gas takes up the whola amount in a container while a solid is fixed in and liquid is the nd when it comes to the volume.

Volume


What occupies the greatest amount of space which state of matter?

In general, gas occupies the greatest amount of space compared to liquid and solid states of matter. This is because gas particles are more spread out and move freely, filling the entire volume of their container.


Matter does not occupy space but has mass?

Matter occupies space and has mass. Matter is made up of particles that have volume and hence occupy space. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and it is related to the number and type of particles that compose the object.


Why heat can occupy space?

when heat occupieses space,the particles of heat are moving around in the space that they occupy


When a fluid increases does its particles occupy less space?

Liquids, solids and gasses EXPAND when heated- the particles occupy more space.


What does the volume of gas depend on?

The volume of gas depends on the temperature, pressure, and number of gas particles present. These factors affect the amount of space the gas particles occupy.


Where List three characteristics of particles of matter?

Particles of matter have mass, which determines their weight and affects their interactions with other particles. Particles of matter have volume, which determines the amount of space they occupy. Particles of matter are constantly in motion, vibrating or moving within a substance.


Does gas flow freely and will not occupy the space given?

No, because gas particles have space in between them so they occupy the given space. For example, when you boil a pot of water, after a while, you start to see steam coming out of the top. That is why it will fill the container. Liquids however, do not occupy the space given unless there are enough particles in the liquid to fill the space to the top.


Does heat and light occupy spaced?

Heat does not occupy space, as heat is just particles vibrating more rapidly. However, if you heat something up, it will occupy more space, due to its particles vibrating over a wider area. Light is much more complicated due to the weirdness of quantum mechanics. Light is made of photons. They're particles but not in the same way that molecules, atoms, electrons, neutrons and protons are. Light can behave like waves of energy instead of particles. Normal particles such as electrons occupy a bit of space and 2 of them cannot occupy the same space at the same time. A photon occupies the bit of space it's in, sort of, but another photon can occupy the same space at the same time. So if you have an electon-sized space you can put only one electron in it. If you have a photo-sized space you can put as many photons into it as you want.


Why does smoke ocupy space?

Smoke consists of tiny particles and gases that occupy physical space. These particles fill the space they are in, much like any other material substance. When smoke is released into the air, it expands to fill the area available to it due to the movement of air currents and diffusion.


How will you show that matter is composed of tiny particles?

because matter has weight and occupy space


Do smoke have mass and occupy space?

Yes smoke does have mass and it does occupy space.
