Question

Do gas laws apply to solids?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The gas laws apply only to ideal gases. Ideal gases are gases whose behaviour is interpretable. Some characteristics of ideal gases are:

1. They occupy negligible volume.
2. No intermolecular interactions between molecules.
3. The gas particles travel randomly.
4. Elastic collisions occur randomly.

Solids and liquids have intermolecular attraction between them, which provide their characteristic shape and properties, therefore the ideal gas laws do not apply solids and liquids.
