Molecules are constantly moving. Even an object sitting perfectly still has molecules that are moving, but these molecules are only moving in small variations, because the bonds between molecules are too strong. With liquids and gasses, the molecules aren't bound to each other hard enough to prevent the movement from affecting the substance.

What canonly liquids and gases do what soilds can not?

Only liquids and gases can flow, a solid object can not flow.


How are gases and liquids alike?

Gases and liquids are both considered fluids because they can flow and take the shape of their container. They can exert pressure on the walls of their container and have molecules that move freely past each other. However, liquids have higher density and are less compressible compared to gases.


What states of matter can flow a.liquids b.gases c.solids d.all of the above?

b. gases. Gases are the only state of matter that can flow freely and take the shape of their container due to the minimal forces of attraction between their particles. Liquids can also flow but have more intermolecular attraction than gases, while solids have fixed shapes and cannot flow.


What state of matter flowes freely?

The state of matter that flows freely is a liquid. Liquids are able to take the shape of their container and flow easily due to their molecular arrangement allowing particles to move past one another.

Are gases and liquids fluids?

A fluid is any substance that can flow. Since liquids and both flow, they are fluids.


Why are gases and liquids reffered to as fluids?

because they move with a flow. liquid flow down the ground, gases flow in currents


How are the particles of solids liquids and gases arranged differently?

In solids, particles are closely packed in a regular pattern and vibrate in place. In liquids, particles are close together but can move past each other, allowing liquids to flow. In gases, particles are far apart and move freely, filling the available space.


Why is fluidity higher in gases than liquids?

Fluidity is higher in gases compared to liquids because the intermolecular forces in gases are weaker, allowing gas particles to move more freely and rapidly. In liquids, the intermolecular forces are stronger, resulting in a more ordered and less mobile arrangement of molecules, which restricts their flow and fluidity.
