2. How are the properties of solids, liquids and gases different from each other?
Answers
Answer:
yes,they are different from each other
Answer:
Solid is one of the three main states of matter, along with liquid and gas. Matter is the "stuff" of the universe, the atoms, molecules and ions that make up all physical substances. In a solid, these particles are packed closely together and are not free to move about within the substance. Molecular motion for the particles in a solid is confined to very small vibrations of the atoms around their fixed positions; therefore, solids have a fixed shape that is difficult to change. Solids also have a definite volume; that is, they keep their size no matter how you try to change them.
Liquids are free-flowing substances, They have a constant volume with no definite shape. Thus, they take up the shape of the container they are in. The small particles in them are held tightly by intermolecular bonds. To understand the difference between solid liquid and gas, it is important to know their properties. The surface tension of liquids makes it posses minimum surface area.
Gas is a state of matter which diffuses freely in all directions. Thus, they fill up the entire space available irrespective of the quantity. The particles it contains do not have a specific shape and volume. Their molecules are loosely held making a lot of space between them to move freely and continually.
