Question

Why gases have lower density compared to that of solids or liquids

Concise Chemistry For Class Ix By Dr S.P Singh Chapter 2-Study Of Gas Laws

Answer 1

Answer:

Because in gases molecules are far away from each other and it's weight is less so it's density is less than solid and and liquid

because in solid molecules are close to each other and in liquid little farer

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Gases have lower density because -

• Intermolecular forces of attraction between gases are weak. Hence intermolecular spaces are large.
• Due to large spaces between molecules, resultant volume of the gas is greater as compared to same mass of solid/liquid.
• Density is inversely proportional to volume when mass is same.
• Hence, due to their larger volume gases have lower density as compared to solids/liquids.

Thanks dear...
