Why do gases exert more pressure on the wall of the container then solid ? |
|
Answer» The molecules and particles of gases do have very large INTERMOLECULAR spaces between them . This LEADS to high energy in them and that's why they KEEP on colliding in the container exerting pressure on its surface . SOLIDS do not have much intermolecular space and that's why the kinetic energy of particles in it is low and THEREFORE it doesn't exert pressure . |
