properties of gases Flashcards
1
Q
density
A
low for gases
- high for liquids and solids
2
Q
volume and shape
A
- gasses fill the space available because particle move independently of one another where as liquids and soilds are fixed volume due to attractive forces
3
Q
compressibility
A
gasses compresses easily whereas liquids and solids are almost incompressible
4
Q
ability to mix
A
gases mix together easily
- liquids can mix together slowly unless slowed
and solids do not mix unless finely divided
5
Q
waht happens at higher temps
A
gases move and collid with greater kinetic energy
