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.

Why can both liquids and gases transfer heat by convection?
Because they both flow easily.
Is a fluid a gas and a liquid?
Fluids are substances that have the tendency to flow. Gases and liquids are both fluids because they both flow.
What is the compressibility of a fluid?
What kind of fluid, liquid or gas? Gases are compressible, liquids pretty much are not. (And yes, both gases and liquids are fluids; the word "fluid" comes from the same root word that gives us "flow," which both gases and liquids are capable of doing.)
How are gases and liquids alike?
liquids and gases both have an Indefinite shape. nd some liquids turn into gases with heat.
Which substances can heat travel through by convection?
Fluids, aka liquids and gases.
What canonly liquids and gases do what soilds can not?
Only liquids and gases can flow, a solid object can not flow.
What state of matter flowes freely?
The answer is : Liquid The State of Matter flows freely is Liquid
What are things that flow?
liquids,gases
What property do liquids and gases have in common?
they can flow
Are gases and liquids fluids?
A fluid is any substance that can flow. Since liquids and both flow, they are fluids.
What property do liquids have that solids do not?
they flow freely and do not have a definite shape.
What property do liquids have that solids do not have?
they flow freely and do not have a definite shape.
Why are gases and liquids reffered to as fluids?
because they move with a flow. liquid flow down the ground, gases flow in currents
Gases can be squashed compressedbut solids cannot?
Flow. Gases and liquids can both modify their shapes.
Liquids and gases flow easily this is called?
fluids
Why liquidgas or plasma considered fluids?
Fluids are substances that flow. Liquids flow, gases flow, and ionized gases (plasmas) flow. Thus, they are all fluids.
Difference between fluids and liquids?
A fluid is any substance that can flow. Liquids are just one type of substance that can flow. Gases are the other type.
