Gas particles (atoms or molecules) have enough kinetic energy to overcome any attractive forces (intermolecular attractions) that will keep them in solid or liquid phases. That KE keeps them moving randomly, bouncing off of each other, with a large space between them. This large space-- volume, makes the density less than the same substance in liquid or solid phases.

Which of the gas has high density?

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) has a high density compared to other gases.


Is the density of a liquid high or low?

The density of a liquid can vary, but in general, liquids have a high density compared to gases. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, so liquids are typically more tightly packed together compared to gases.


Do gases have low or high density?

Gasses have an incredibly low density, less than a liquid or a solid.


Which property of gases allows them to be stored at high concentrations in a bottle of air freshener?

Gases have a low density, allowing them to be compressed into a smaller volume at high pressures. This property allows gases to be stored at high concentrations in a bottle of air freshener.


Does liquid have medium density?

Yes, liquids have a relatively high density compared to gases but lower density compared to solids. The density of a liquid depends on its mass and volume, with most liquids exhibiting moderate density values typically between the densities of gases and solids.


What happened with density of gases on heating?

As gases are heated up, its volume increases, resulting in a decrease of density.


Is the density of gases a characteristic property?

The density is a physical characteristic, specific for each material, including gases.


Which gas has the highest density among all gases?

Radon gas has the highest density among all gases.


Why does a gas not have density?

All materials - including gases - have a density !


Do gases have density?

Gas, as well as everything in the universe has density, though some densities are either too high or too low to be detected but for gases, the density can vary over a wide range because the molecules are free to move.Gases have a lower density compared to liquids because their particles are more spaced out hence occupies more volume. Gases have no fixed shape or volume and will always spread out to fill any container.


Is the density of liquids the same as the density of gases?

No, the density of liquids is generally higher than the density of gases. This is because the particles in liquids are closer together and have more intermolecular forces compared to gases. Consequently, liquids have a higher mass per unit volume, resulting in a higher density.


Which phase has the lowest density when comparing solids liquids and gases?
