Question	Answer
The resistance of a liquid to flowing is its	viscosity
Particles of a liquid	are free to move around one another but still touch
In which state of matter do the particles spread apart and fill all the space available to them?	gas

Beside above, what is the space between particles of matter called? it is called intermolecular spaces are present in between particles of matter. this is the answer according to your question.

Similarly one may ask, why does a gas fill the entire available space?

Gas particles spread out to fill a container evenly, unlike solids and liquids. When more gas particles enter a container, there is less space for the particles to spread out, and they become compressed. The particles exert more force on the interior volume of the container. This force is called pressure.

Which state of matter flows but does not fill its container?

A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. It will take the shape of its container. Particles can move about within a liquid, but they are packed densely enough that volume is maintained.

What are the 12 states of matter?

The classical states of matter are usually summarised as: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

Low-energy states

Solid: A solid holds a definite shape and volume without a container.
Liquid: A mostly non-compressible fluid.
Gas: A compressible fluid.

How do particles move in each state of matter?

Explanation: In solids, particles are very closely packed in an orderly arrangement in a lattice and only vibrate in fixed positions. The forces of attraction between them are very strong. In liquids, there are bigger spaces between particles and they move more freely and take the shape of their container.

How free are the particles to move in each state of matter?

gas vibrate and move freely at high speeds. liquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other. solid vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place.

How free are the particles in each state of matter?

Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles.

Can solids expand to fill the space in a container?

Gases have three characteristic properties: (1) they are easy to compress, (2) they expand to fill their containers, and (3) they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form. An internal combustion engine provides a good example of the ease with which gases can be compressed.

Do gases expand to fill the space they are in?

Gases are mostly empty space, and this is evident because gases can be easily compressed. It is easy to reduce the volume of a gas as compared to reducing the volume of a solid. Gases expand spontaneously to fill any container (rapid motion).

Do liquids expand to fill their container?

Liquids have definite volume, but indefinite shape. They are free to form droplets and puddles when they are not inside a container. When a liquid is inside a container, it will take its shape. Unlike gases, a liquid will not change its volume to spread out and completely fill a container.

Why does gas exert pressure on the walls of the container?

The molecules are continually colliding with each other and with the walls of the container. When a molecule collides with the wall, they exert small force on the wall The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the sum of all these collision forces. The more particles that hit the walls, the higher the pressure.

Why are gases so easily compressible?

The atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid or liquid are very close together. There is no space between the individual particles, so they cannot pack together. Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles.

What are the characteristics of matter?

Characteristic Properties of Matter—The Key Ideas The physical properties of matter include color, odor, density, solubility, melting point, boiling point, and electrical conductivity. These are properties that can be observed without chemically changing the substance.

How do gases expand?

The gas expands at constant pressure because the temperature increases. This, in turn, causes an increase in the force of impact and hence on the pressure that the particles exert on average onto the internal walls of the container. As soon as the pressure increases, the volume increases.

Why is a wooden table called a solid?

A wooden table should be called a solid because it has a definite shape and volume, is rigid, does not flow, the particles are tightly bound with very less kinetic energy and, not diffuse and has negligible intermolecular spaces between its particles.

What is in the space between gas molecules?

Gas is a state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume. Gases have lower density than other states of matter, such as solids and liquids. There is a great deal of empty space between particles, which have a lot of kinetic energy.

What is the space between particles in a solid?

In general, solids are denser than liquids, which are denser than gases. . The particles in the solid are touching with very little space between them. The particles in a liquid usually are still touching but there are some spaces between them. The gas particles have big distances between them.
