Gas laws are derived from the kinetic theory of gases, which assumes that gas particles are in constant motion and have negligible volume. Solids and liquids have stronger intermolecular forces that keep their particles closer together, preventing the same level of random motion seen in gases. Therefore, the assumptions underlying the gas laws do not hold true for solids and liquids.
