Explain Phenomena

Read the list below of properties of common solids, liquids, and gases. How do these properties relate to specific characteristics at the particle level?

- Gaseous water (vapor) spreads out to fill a room, while liquid water does not.
- Liquid nitrogen is denser than gaseous nitrogen.
- Solid iron has a definite shape, while liquid iron takes the shape of its container.



Answer :

Final answer:

Gases expand to fill containers with no definite shape, liquids have higher densities than gases, and solids maintain a specific shape.


Explanation:

Gases

  • Liquids vs. Gases: Gaseous water (vapor) spreads out to fill a room, while liquid water does not. Gases have no definite shape or volume, expand to fill containers, and have extremely low densities.
  • Liquids vs. Gases: Liquid nitrogen is denser than gaseous nitrogen. Liquids take the shape of their containers and have higher densities than gases.
  • Solids vs. Liquids: Solid iron has a definite shape, while liquid iron takes the shape of its container. Solids have a defined shape, while liquids adapt to their containers.
