gas molecules collide with one another. They collide until they become equidistant dfrom one anohter. this is why they have a larger volume, they venture out until they are equidistant form each other, filling the container.

How is a liquid different from a gas?
The are a couple of differences: First, the particles in a gas are more loosely packed than in a liquid. Second, a liquid has no definite shape but definite volume; a gas has no definite volume and no definite shape.
Is liquid nitrogen a liquid or a gas?
In the atmosphere it is a gas, in the soil it its a solid, nitrogen gas can be converted to liquid in air separation plants. Also, as a liquid Nitrogen is very cold -- cryogenic temperatures. Nitrogen is stored as liquid commonly for convenience, even when gas is required, because liquid is more dense than gas and more nitrogen could be stored in the same volume. Simply, the answer to your question is nitrogen is a solid, liquid and gas depending on where you find it or how you've modified it.
Why does gas have more volume than water?
Because the intermolecular space between the gas particles are far more as compared to that in liquid, and that is because of less forces of attraction between particles in the gas, which can be attributed to more energy present in gas particles.
Which can get compressed the most a solid and liquid or gas?
A gas can be compressed more than a liquid and a solid.
Does a gas have less energy then a liquid form?
no .Gas have more kinetic energy than it's liquid form.

Is displacement of liquid by liquid easier than by gas?
Yes, Liquid -Liquid displacement is easier than displacement with gas. the liquids cannot be compressible, but gas can. the volume of gas required for displacement is lower than volume of liquid.
How is gas difference from liquid?
The are a couple of differences: First, the particles in a gas are more loosely packed than in a liquid. Second, a liquid has no definite shape but definite volume; a gas has no definite volume and no definite shape.
Is liquid usually denser than gas?
There has not been a gas denser made or existing and not only that, gas is always frequently moving and does not shape up like liquid.
Molar volume of liquid is greater than molar volume of gas. why?
That's not true. The molar volume of a gas is always greater than the molar volume of a liquid. I can't think of any exceptions to this.
When a liquid boils Why the volume of the gas produced is greater than the volume of the liquid?
The molecules are further apart, thus the gas is less dense and the volume is greater.
Is liquid more condensed than gas?
yes, the atoms are more compressed in liquid than gas
Does a gas have more moleules than a liquid?
No. The state of a substance does not tell the number of molecules present. In a gas, the molecules move more freely than in a liquid as they are not bound to each other by intermolecular forces. If you're going by volume, a given volume of a gas will generally contain fewer molecules except at very high pressures.
What state of matter unergoes change in volume most easily?
A gas will undergo a change in volume more easily than either a liquid or a solid.
Why do gases normally have lower densities than liquids in a given volume?
Density is defined as the mass of a substance per its unit volume (i.e. d = m/V).The liquid form of any particular substance will have its atoms (or molecules, for a molecular substance) packed more closely together than its gaseous form. If they are packed more closely together in a liquid, there will be more atoms per unit volume in the liquid than the gas.For example, if you were to take 1 cubic metre of argon gas (at 1 atm) and 1 cubic metre of liquid argon, you would have more atoms of argon in the liquid sample than the gas sample.Therefore, for identical V, if m(gas) < m(liquid), then it follows that d(gas) < d(liquid).
What is the properties of a liquid?
Less dense than solid, more than gas; definite volume, but no definite shape; and lighter vescosity than solids.
What are the differences in solid liquid and gaseous states of matter?
The differences are in a solid the particles of itusually lines up in an organized pattern. The particles of a liquid move more than they do in the solid state .And in the gas diagram, the particles move around more freely so their volume and shape fit the shape and volume of the container.
