An experiment to study the relationship between the volume and amount of a gas.

Because the particles are so much closer in liquids and solids, there are chances for particles to attract (or repel). ...

In a solid, the molecules are packed together, keeping shape. Liquid molecules are looser, and fit to the container they are in. Gas molecules are sporadic, and expand to fit their container
