compare the characteristics of a solid liquid and gas with respect to :
1.intermolecular space
2. intermolecular force
3.number of free surface 4.compressibility
Answers
SOLID:-
- Highly Strong intermolecular forces between the molecules, leads to a definite volume in Solids.
2.Solids have a definite shape to them.
3.The intermolecular space between solids is absent.
4.The force of attraction between the molecules is incredibly high.
5.They are incompressible.
6.Solids have a definite shape and volume.
LIQUID:-
1.The intermolecular forces are stronger than gases but weaker than solids.
2.Liquids do not have a definite shape.
3.The intermolecular space is moderate but present.
4.The force of attraction between molecules is pretty moderate.
5.Liquids cannot be compressed.
6.Liquids have a definite volume.
GAS:-
1.The intermolecular forces are practically non-existent. Thus, there is no definite volume.
2.Gases do not have a definite shape.
3.The intermolecular space is free-flowing and plenty
4.There is no intermolecular force of attraction between the molecules.
5.Gases can be compressed quite easily.
6.Gases have no definite volume.
