Gasses have atoms in them that bounce off each other and move around all over the place. Solids have atoms in them that stay put/don't move.A liquids atoms vibrate.

Gases have molecules that are far apart and move freely, taking the shape of their container. Solids have tightly packed molecules in a fixed arrangement, maintaining their shape and volume. Liquids have molecules that are close together but still able to move past each other, taking the shape of their container but maintaining a constant volume.

Is molecule movement greater in liquids or gases?
molecules move more in gasses gasses>liquids>solids
How do gasses liquid and soilds differ in respect of the spaces between particles?
Liquids have smaller spaces between the molecules than a gas, and Solids have smaller spaces than liquids.
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.
What is the difference between Co2 compressible and Co2 incompressible?
Gasses are compressible and liquids and solids are incompressible. Using this information one can surmise that CO2 compressible would be the gas phase of CO2 and CO2 incompressible would be the solid (dry ice) phase of CO2.
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.
What is the difference between a solid and a liquid volume?
Solids and liquids both have definite volumes. Gasses, however, do not have a definite volume.
Is molecule movement greater in liquids or gases?
molecules move more in gasses gasses>liquids>solids
Materials that can flow to fit their containers include?
gasses, liquids and solids
Can solids liquds and gases change there shape?
Liquids yes, gasses yes, solids no
Does heat move faster through solids or liquids and gasses?
no
What are the movement of particles within solids liquids and gasses?
diffusion.
It what three forms can matter exist?
solids , gasses , and liquids.
Is steel solids liquids or gasses at room temperature?
Solid
What are the three states does matter occur?
Solids, liquids, and gasses
What are three way that matter can exist in?
Gasses, liquids and solids.
How do gasses liquid and soilds differ in respect of the spaces between particles?
Liquids have smaller spaces between the molecules than a gas, and Solids have smaller spaces than liquids.
Who invented gasses?
Nobody invented gasses. Gasses are one of the four naturally occurring states of matter: * Gasses * Liquids * Solids * Plasmas
