Question

4. Why do gases not have a definite shape?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The molecules exert no force of attraction or repulsion upon one another. I.e., the molecules are independent of each other. This is the reason gases do not have a definite shape.

Answer 2

Gases !!!

• The state which has less intermolecular attraction then Other 2 States ..

• Here the particles are quite distant and the forces are loose enough to give a decent shape to any object !!

conclusion

• Solid can Give a definite shape to the the vessel which occupies due to the strong intermolecular forces of attraction that it exhibits.

• But this does not work for liquid which have very loose are almost forces between the molecules.

• gases particles can freely roam all over the space which it occupies.
