AnswersDriveThe 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.
Simply so, what is an example of a gas in a solid?
Examples of Gas to Solid (Deposition) Under certain circumstances, gas can transform directly into a solid. This process is called deposition. Water vapor to ice - Water vapor transforms directly into ice without becoming a liquid, a process that often occurs on windows during the winter months.

What is the difference between a solid and a gas?
Differences between solids, liquids and gases. Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules and ions, but the behaviours of these particles differ in the three phases of solid, liquid and gas. The particles behave the same no matter whether they are solid, liquid or gas.

What is the difference between gas and a liquid?
The molecules of liquids have a moderate force of attraction; the force between molecules is less than solids and more than gases. Liquids take the shape of the container they are stored in as the molecules move to fill the space. They have no definite shape and have the ability to flow.

What is the difference between a solid a liquid and a gas?
In a liquid the particles are still close together but a little further apart than in a solid. The particles can move around and mix with other particles. Therefore, liquids can change shape to match their container. In gases the particles are much further apart than in solids or liquids.

What is the main difference between the three states of matter?
There are five known phases, or states, of matter: solids, liquids, gases, plasma and Bose-Einstein condensates. The main difference in the structures of each state is in the densities of the particles. The magnitude of the upward buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
5
Is a gas a fluid?
In physics, a fluid is a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress. Fluids are a subset of the phases of matter and include liquids, gases, plasmas, and to some extent, plastic solids. Liquids form a free surface (that is, a surface not created by the container) while gases do not.
6
What are the 3 factors that affect the pressure of a gas?
Summary. An increase in the number of gas molecules in the same volume container increases pressure. A decrease in container volume increases gas pressure. An increase in temperature of a gas in a rigid container increases the pressure.

How is a gas different from a solid or a liquid?
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.

What are solid liquids and gases?
Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. The following figure illustrates the microscopic differences.
9
What is it called when a gas turns into a solid?
Deposition is a thermodynamic process, a phase transition in which gas transforms into solid without passing through the liquid phase. The reverse of deposition is sublimation and hence sometimes deposition is called desublimation.
10
What is the difference between a solid and a liquid?
For most people, the difference between a solid and liquid is easy to discern—liquids move, they flow, they take the shape of whatever they are put in. Solids on the other hand, are rigid and don't slosh around.
11
How does a plasma differ from a gas?
They are different and unique from the other states of matter. Plasma is different from a gas, because it is made up of groups of positively and negatively charged particles. In neon gas, the electrons are all bound to the nucleus. In neon plasma, the electrons are free to move around the system.
12
Is the air a gas?
The air around us is a mixture of gases, mainly nitrogen and oxygen, but containing much smaller amounts of water vapor, argon, and carbon dioxide, and very small amounts of other gases. Air also contains suspended dust, spores, and bacteria. The dry, CO2-free air is compressed to about 200 atmospheres.
13
What are some examples of a solid?
Other solids, known as amorphous solids, lack any apparent crystalline structure. Examples of solids are common table salt, table sugar, water ice, frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice), glass, rock, most metals, and wood. When a solid is heated, the atoms or molecules gain kinetic energy .
14
What are solids liquids and gases called?
A solid has a definite shape and volume. A liquid has a definite volume but it takes the shape of a container whereas a gas fills the entire volume of a container. You already know that diamond and graphite are solids made up of the element carbon. They are two phases of carbon, but both are solids.
15
What is an example of a gas?
Examples of Gases
- air.
- helium.
- nitrogen.
- freon.
- carbon dioxide.
- water vapor.
- hydrogen.
- natural gas.
16
How many states of matter are there?
There are five known phases, or states, of matter: solids, liquids, gases, plasma and Bose-Einstein condensates. The main difference in the structures of each state is in the densities of the particles.
17
How is a liquid similar to a gas?
Liquids and gases are similar in both shape and volume because they both have its shape determined by its surroundings. Liquids and gases are different in the amount of space between particles. Particles in a liquid are close together, but still have a slight movement. Particles in a gas, are very free.
18
What is the shape of a gas?
A gas is a substance with no definite volume and no definite shape. Solids and liquids have volumes that do not change easily. A gas, on the other hand, has a vol- ume that changes to match the volume of its container. The molecules in a gas are very far apart compared with the molecules in a solid or a liquid.
19
Why gas has a low density?
A gas usually has much lower density than a solid or liquid. The molecules or atoms in a gas are much further apart than in a solid or a liquid. Gas molecules or atoms are usually flying around at very high speeds, occasionally bouncing off each other or the walls of the container the gas is in.

What are the characteristics of a gas?
Characteristics of Gases[edit]
- Gases have neither definite shape nor definite volume. They expand to the size of their container.
- Gases are fluid, and flow easily.
- Gases have low density, unless compressed.
- Gases diffuse (mix and spread out) and effuse (travel through small holes).
