Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main reason that gases have low density compared to solids and liquids?
  • Step 1: Understand what density means. Density is how much mass is in a certain volume.
  • Step 2: Know that solids and liquids have particles that are close together.
  • Step 3: Realize that gases have particles that are far apart from each other.
  • Step 4: Remember that if the particles are far apart, the gas takes up more space (larger volume).
  • Step 5: Conclude that for the same mass, a gas will have a larger volume than a solid or liquid, making its density lower.
