Gases are free to completely fill any closed container. (or escape if it is not closed.)
Gases are easily compressed. Gases can be chilled to a liquid form.
Liquids will only fill their container till the capacity needed is filled. Liquids are difficult to compress. Liquids can be chilled to a solid form. (Helium excepted).
Solids are of a fixed shape at any moment (though we may bend them etc), and are very difficult to compress.
And of course, the inverse applies, a solid may be warmed to make a liquid, and further warming of a liquid will make it into a gas.
[There are some other states of matter, which we ignore here.]
What else can I help you with?
Does conduction only occur between solids?
No, conduction can occur in solids, liquids, and gases. In solids, conduction happens through direct contact between particles. In liquids and gases, it occurs through the transfer of heat energy by the movement of particles.
Why are liquids more heavier than solids?
Liquids are generally heavier than solids because the molecules in liquids are more densely packed together and have more mass per unit volume compared to solids. Additionally, liquids tend to have a higher density than solids, making them heavier when compared in equal volumes.
Can Conduction take place in a liquid?
Yes, conduction can occur in liquids. In liquids, energy is transferred through collisions between neighboring molecules, similar to solids. However, liquids are generally poorer conductors compared to solids due to their less organized structure.
Why are solids better heat conductors than liquids?
Solids are better heat conductors than liquids because in solids, particles are closely packed together and can transfer heat more easily through vibrations. In liquids, particles are more spread out and move more freely, making it harder for heat to transfer effectively. Additionally, solids generally have higher thermal conductivity compared to liquids.
Sound travels slower through gases than through liquids and solids because the molecules in gases are?
farther apart, resulting in fewer collisions between molecules. This allows sound waves to move with less resistance and at a slower pace compared to the more densely packed molecules in liquids and solids.
How mixtures form?
mixtures can be formed by physically putting two or more substances together. Mixtures can be formed between solids and liquids, solids and solids, liquids and liquids, solids and gas, liquids and gas, gas and gas
What is the change of Solids to liquids to solids again called?
Solids to Liquids (Melting) Liquids turning back into a Solid (Freezing) ((SCF))
Two differences between liquids and solids?
Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, while solids have a fixed volume and shape. Liquids have higher molecular mobility compared to solids, allowing them to flow and take the shape of their container.
Does conduction only occur between solids?
No, conduction can occur in solids, liquids, and gases. In solids, conduction happens through direct contact between particles. In liquids and gases, it occurs through the transfer of heat energy by the movement of particles.
What item has a fixed volume solids liquids or gases?
solids and liquids
How are atoms organized in solids and liquids?
solid only vibrates and liquids are inter mediate between solid and gas.
What do solids do when they soak liquids up?
When solids soak liquids up, the molecules of the liquid become entrapped in between the particles of the solid . A good example is how bread gets wet.
How is gas different from solids and liquids?
Both liquids and Solids have definite volumes
What do both liquids and solids fix?
Solids and liquids both have fixed volumes.
Are lubricants solids or liquids?
liquids
What is the difrence between a triangle and a quadrilateral?
One side
What do solids and liquids have that gases dont?
big spaces between the particles???
