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.


What property do liquids and gases have that solids do not have?

Liquids and gases are able to flow and take the shape of their container, while solids maintain a fixed shape and volume. Liquids and gases are considered fluids due to their ability to flow, in contrast to solids which are rigid and maintain their shape.


Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes?

Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.


Which property do liquid and gases have that solids don't?

The ability to flow and take the shape of their container is a property of liquids and gases that solids do not have. This property is known as fluidity.


What are the differences between solids, liquids, and gases and how do these differences affect their properties and behaviors?

Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume. These differences in structure affect their properties and behaviors. Solids have strong intermolecular forces, making them rigid and maintaining their shape. Liquids have weaker intermolecular forces, allowing them to flow and take the shape of their container. Gases have very weak intermolecular forces, allowing them to expand to fill their container and move freely.

Which of the following adopts the shape of a container solids liquids or gases?

Liquids adopt the shape of the part of the container that they occupy. Gases adopt the entire shape and volume of their container.


What do solids liquids and gases depend on?

Solids, liquids, and gases depend on the intermolecular forces between their particles. In solids, particles are closely packed with strong intermolecular forces, leading to a fixed shape and volume. Liquids have weaker forces, allowing particles to flow and take the shape of their container. Gases have very weak forces, leading to particles that move freely and expand to fill their container.


Can solids liquds and gases change there shape?

Liquids yes, gasses yes, solids no


What are some examples of how gases are different from liquids and solids?

I can only tell you that gases are does not have a difinite shape and volume . E.g air / nitrogen / carbon dioxide / water vapour / . . .

What do Solids liquids and gases have different?

Solids have a definite shape and volume, while liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Gases have neither a definite shape nor volume and expand to fill their container.


Do solids liquids and gases have a definite volume?

Solids have a set volume. Liquids have a set volume. Gases do not have a set volume. Why? Solids are solids. They don't move. They're in a 'frozen state' as is. Liquids 'mold' to the shape of their container and they stay there. Gases are free to go anywhere. Always moving and 'flying.'


Which properties are present in liquid and gas but not in solid?

Fluidity and compressibility are properties present in liquids and gases but not in solids. Liquids and gases can flow and take the shape of their container, unlike solids which have a fixed shape. Gases can be compressed under pressure, unlike solids which have a fixed volume.


How are solids liquids gases differnent from each other?

Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume and expand to fill their container. The particles in solids are tightly packed, in liquids they are loosely packed, and in gases they are far apart. Additionally, solids have the strongest intermolecular forces, followed by liquids, then gases.

How are gasses and liquids similar in shape and volume?

ANSWER unlike solids, both liquids and gases can change their shape to fit the container in which they are held. however, gases can also change volume unlike liquids.
