Question

Explain why we say that liquids hace their own volume while gases do not.

Answer 1

Liquids, because they flow, can occupy whatever shape their container has, so they do not have a fixed shape. Because the particles in liquids are very close together (barely further apart than in solids) liquids do not easily compress, so their volume is fixed.Gases can also flow, so occupy the shape of their whole container. They do not have a fixed shape. Because the particles in gases are much further apart than in liquids or solids, they can be squeezed closer together. Gases therefore can be compressed or expanded. They do not have a fixed volume.

Answer 2

Respuesta:

Liquids: Because they flow, can occupy whatever shape their container has, so they don't have fixed shape.Because te atoms are very close together, liquids don't easily compres, so their volume is fixed.

Gases: also can occupy the shape of any container.They don't have fixed shape.Because the atoms are more further apart than in liquids or solids.Gases can be compressed or expanded, they don't have a fixed volume.
