Because Young's Modulus is a property of solids.

Put simply if you get a section of wire and stretch it or compress it, Young's Modulus predicts the amount a wire will extend under tension or buckle under compression.

You can't do this with gases and liquids so they do not have a Young's Modulus

Solids liquids and gases. which ones are hard to deform?

When we talk about deformatation, we are referring to two properties, namely Elasticity and Plasticity. These properties are measured using constants known as " Moduli of Elasticity". There are 4 such moduli: Young's Modulus Axial Modulus Rigidity Modulus Bulk Modulus The larger the value of the Bulk Modulus, the harder it is to compress the material.


Why do mechanical waves travel faster through solids and liquids than gases?

Mechanical waves involve the physical transfer of vibration from one particle to another within the medium. Denser materials (solids and liquids), have closer particles so this transfer of energy occurs more quickly. :)


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.


Is the boyle's law applicable to liquids?

Boyle's law applies to ideal gases, not liquids. In liquids, pressure and volume are not directly proportional as they are in gases. Liquids are generally considered to be incompressible, so changes in pressure do not significantly affect their volume.


In what way are liquids and gases alike?

Liquids and gases are both considered fluids because they can flow and take the shape of their container. They both have the ability to move and are not held in a fixed shape like solids. Additionally, both liquids and gases can expand and contract based on changes in temperature and pressure.

Why are no young's moduli for liquids and gases?

because Young's moduli is based on how much something stretches and you cannot stretch a gas or liquid
