Some Questions On Molecules and Solids Liquids and Gases?
What happens to the volume of a gas when it is heated?
What is the kinetic theory of gases?
Why do solids not change shape when they are placed in a container where as liquids take the shape of the container they are in?
Answer:
Under high pressure = condenses
Heat = heat speeds up molecules casuing it to expand
The theory = gases will occupy all space my spreading itself out given the current physical conditions
Solids/Liquids = Molecules on solids are held together, thus giving it a shape. When place in other containers it will not change shaoe due to the tight bunch of the molecules. Once warmed the molecules will loosin, turning the solution from a solid to a liquid. Liquids take shape of the container b/c the molecule are more free flowing than that of solids. This allows them to take shape the container.
