Can gas flow from one place to another?
For liquids and gases these particles can flow over or alongside one another. That is why liquids and gases are also called fluids: because they can flow. This flow can be smooth, chaotic or anything in between.
Can gas spread out and fill any space?
The atoms and molecules in gases are much more spread out than in solids or liquids. They vibrate and move freely at high speeds. A gas will fill any container, but if the container is not sealed, the gas will escape. Gas can be compressed much more easily than a liquid or solid.
Can a gases flow?
A gas fills its container, taking both the shape and the volume of the container. Liquids and gases are called fluids because they can be made to flow, or move.
What is the space occupied by gas?
The volume occupied by a gas The volume of a gas is simply the space in which the molecules of the gas are free to move.
Can gas flow yes or no?
Matter is made of small particles of atoms or molecules. There are three common states of matter, solid, liquid and gas. A gas and a liquid will change shape to fit the shape of their container. A gas will change volume to fit the volume of the container….Liquids Solids and Gases:
| Definite shape | definite volume | |
|---|---|---|
| liquid | no | yes |
| gas | no | no |
Can gases be squashed?
The atoms and molecules in gases are much more spread out than in solids or liquids. They move freely at high speeds. A gas will fill any container, but if the container is not sealed, the gas will escape. Gas can be squashed much more easily than a liquid or solid.
Why can gas fill any space?
Gases are in rapid motion, and they undergo elastic collisions with each other and the walls of the container; that is, momentum and energy is transfered not lost during collisions. Gases expand spontaneously to fill any container (rapid motion).
Will air expand to fill a space?
Gases (like air) expand to fill their containers, and in space there is no container, so it would simply expand until it is the same density as space itself.
Does gas flow freely?
The particles in a gas are farther apart compared to the particles in liquids and solids. The attractive forces that keep particles close together in the solid and the liquid states are very weak in the gas state. As a result, the particles in a gas can flow freely in every direction.
What is the space occupied by solid liquid and gas called?
The amount of space that matter occupies is called its volume. Solids, liquids, and gases all have volume.
What do you call anything that occupies space and has mass?
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. If something is in a solid state of matter, it has a definite shape and volume. The volume of an object is the amount of space it occupies.
