Density of a Gas

Claim: The mass of gas is significantly less than that of the density of solids and liquids.

Evidence: The density of gas is far less than the density's of a solid or a liquid. In a particle model of gas the particles are fewer and more spread out. Compared to the particle model of a liquid which would have a few more particles that would be closer together. The particle model of a solid is the most dense and as the most amount of particles in it. It has more particles because these particles are a lot closer together than that of a gas or a liquid. Each state of matter has different particles which are not the same at all.



Reasoning: Looking at the particle models it is clear to see the different density's between the different states of matter. The average density for copper is 8.25. The average density of water is 1.00. The average density that we got for Carbon Dioxide was .00112903(g/cm³). The density is the mass divided by the volume. The mass is the amount of matter in an object. The volume is the amount of space that an object takes up.
