Gases can change volume because they take up the whole space of the container, room, etc. that they are contained in.

Gases can change volume because their particles are not held together tightly like in solids or liquids. The particles in a gas are free to move around and spread out to fill the available space, so when the pressure or temperature changes, the volume of the gas can adjust accordingly.

Do gases change in volume?

Yes, it is correct.


What properties do only gases have?

Gases have the property of indefinite shape and volume, as they expand to fill any container. They also have low density compared to liquids and solids. Gases can be compressed and expand easily when heated.


What changes shape and volume when you change containers?

Gases do that.


What statekeeps the same shape and volume?

A solid does. Liquids change in shape and gases change in both shape and volume.


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.


What property easily changes in gases but does not easily change in solids?

shape and volume


What state of matter undergoes change in volume most easily?

Gases adapt most easily to changes in volume.


How can you change the density?

Gases can change their volume and that causes the density to change. Liquids and solids are practically incompressible. Their volume change under pressure is such a small amount that their density changes very little if at all.


Does the volume of gases changes with the change of container?

Of course. The gas always fills the container it's in, no matter how large or small the volume is.


Gases do not have definite?

Gases are highly compressible. So they don't have definite volume and pressure. As volume is reduced for a given mass pressure increases. Also as temperature changes then at constant volume pressure changes considerably. Same way for a constant pressure temperature change brings a change in the volume. Moreover gasses do not have a free surface.


Why can't liquids change volume but gasses can?

The intermolecular strength is higher in liquids than in gases.


How can volume be use to separate solids and gases?

Solids have a definite volume and gases have a variable volume
