Question

Compare the properties of a solid, a liquid and a gas with respect to
(a) intermolecular spaces.
(b) intermolecular forces.
(c) fluidity
(d) number of free surfaces
(e) compressibility​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Maximunm in gases, lesser in liquids and least and almost negligible in solids.

b)Maximum in solids, lesser in solids and least and almost negligible in gases.

c) solids cannot flow, molecules of liquids can flow over each other while gaseoues molecules can flow freely in any direction.

d) solids can have infinite free surfaces, liqids have only 1 free surface and gases have no free surface.

e)gases are highly complessible, liquids are slightly compressible while solids are negligibly or non compressible.
