explain why a gas can be compressed in to smaller volume
Answers
Answer:
Gases dont have specific volumes i.e. they are spread out, they're particles disperse and therefore occupy the volume of the container allocated to it and so added pressure can easily force these particles into a more compact volume. Solids and liquids have more compact particles and so they are given little room to move so they are not easily compressed, think of a sponge its particles anre spread out so u can compress it, but a rock has tightly packed particles and so they cannot be compressed easily.
in brief; the particles in gases are spread out more than those in a liquid or solid. Making them easier to compress. Liquids and solids are already more compact than a gas.
Answer:
In gases the particles are much further apart than in solids or liquids. There is a lot of space in between the particles and they are constantly moving about. The particles collide with other particles and with the walls of the container.
Because the particles are moving about, a gas will fill any container that it is put into.
Because there is space between the particles, they can be squashed into a smaller volume when the gas is compressed.
