A rigid cylinder has a fixed internal volume and contains only gaseous U. More gaseous U is forced into it.
Why can the amount of gaseous U in the cylinder increase?
Attractions between U particles pull them into clusters.
The empty spaces between U particles become smaller as more particles are added.
The added U particles form a fixed, regular arrangement.
The added U particles move more slowly, so they take up less room.
