Answer:
Gases are easily compressed. We can see evidence of this in Table 1 in Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids, where you will note that gases have the largest coefficients of volume expansion. The large coefficients mean that gases expand and contract very rapidly with temperature changes. In addition, you will note that most gases expand at the same rate, or have the same β. This raises the question as to why gases should all act in nearly the same way, when liquids and solids have widely varying expansion rates.
The answer lies in the large separation of atoms and molecules in gases, compared to their sizes, as illustrated in Figure 2. Because atoms and molecules have large separations, forces between them can be ignored, except when they collide with each other during collisions. The motion of atoms and molecules (at temperatures well above the boiling temperature) is fast, such that the gas occupies all of the accessible volume and the expansion of gases is rapid. In contrast, in liquids and solids, atoms and molecules are closer together and are quite sensitive to the forces between them.

proton is the name for a nuclear particle that has about the same mass as a neutron, but with a positive charge.
Answer:
One change of state happens when you add energy to the substance. This change of state is called melting. By adding energy to the molecules in a solid the molecules begin to move quicker and can break away from the other molecules. ... The temperature at which a substance goes from a solid to a liquid is it melting point.
Answer:
Highest speed: He
Lowest speed: CO2
Explanation:
The rms speed (average speed) of the molecules/atoms in an ideal gas is given by:
where
R is the gas constant
T is the absolute temperature of the gas
M is the molar mass of the gas, which is the mass of the gas per unit mole
From the equation, we see that at equal temperatures, the speed of the molecules in the gas is inversely proportional to the molar mass: the higher the molar mass, the lower the speed, and vice-versa.
In this problem, we have 5 gases:
(CO2) (O2) (He) (N2) (CH4)
Their molar mass is:
CO2: 44 g/mol
O2: 16 g/mol
He: 4 g/mol
N2: 14 g/mol
CH4: 16 g/mol
The gas with lowest molar mass is Helium (He): therefore, this is the gas with greatest average speed.
The gas with highest molar mass is CO2: therefore, this is the gas with lowest average speed.
