Question

Explain why solids are more elastic than gases

Answer 1

To a greater or lesser extent, most solid materials exhibit elastic behaviour, but there. ... to V. Since gases can in general be compressed more easily than liquids or solids, the value of κ for a gas is very much less than that for a liquid or solid.

Answer 2

Answer:

Elasticity of solids is more and if gases is least.

Explanation:

Solids have the highest inter-molecular force of attraction and they have least inter-molecular space between molecules and, gases have the least inter-molecular force of attraction, and also possess highest inter-molecular space between molecules.

Hence, elasticity of solids is more and if gases is least.
