Question

5. Compare the characteristics of a solid, a
liquid and a gas with respect to
(a) intermolecular spaces
(b) intermolecular forces.
(c) number of free surface
(d) compressibility
DS
wo or mor​

Answer 1

$1) inter molecular\ spaces\\\\Gas > liquid > solid \\\\ 2) intermolecular \ forces \\\\Solid > liquid > gas\\\\3) number \ of \ free \ surface\\\\Solid > liquid > gas\\\\ 4) Compressibility \\\\Gas > liquid > solid\\\\hope\ it \ helps \ !!$

Answer 2

(a) INTERMOLECULAR SPACES

All the three states of matter is having the difference in their molecules.

like,

• Gas has large space(gap) in between the molecules as compared to solid which is very close to each other.
• liquids molecules are touched with a little space in between so,

neither the gap is there nor the attraction.

HOPE IT WILL BE HELPFUL FOR YOU!!!

THANKS!!!
