difference between solid liquid and gas
Answers
Solid:
1) density is high
2) they have a definite shape
3) solid can diffuse into liquid
4) interparticle force of attraction is very strong
5) intermolecular Force between the constituent are very strong.
Liquid:
1) diffusion is higher than solid
2) interparticle space is lesser
3) it's density is moderate
4) they do not have a definite shape
5) intermolecular Force of attraction is less strong.
Gas:
1) no definite volume
2) density is low
3) compressibility is very high
4) interparticle force of attraction is weak
5) intermolecular space is more than other.
Explanation:
BASIS FOR COMPARISON SOLID LIQUID GAS
Meaning Solid refers to a form of matter which has structural rigidity and has a firm shape which cannot be changed easily. Liquid is a substance, that flows freely, having a definite volume but no permanent shape. Gas refers to a state of matter, do not have any shape but conform to the shape of the container, completely, in which it is put in.
Shape and Volume Fixed shape and volume. No fixed shape but has volume. Neither definite shape nor volume.
Energy Lowest Medium Highest
Compressibility Difficult Nearly difficult Easy
Arrangement of molecules Regular and closely arranged. Random and little sparsely arranged. Random and more sparsely arranged.
Fluidity Cannot flow Flows from higher to lower level. Flows in all directions.
Molecular motion Negligible molecular motion Brownian molecular motion Free, constant and random molecular motion.
Intermolecular space Very less More Large
Intermolecular attraction Maximum Medium Minimum
Sound speed Fastest Faster than gas but slower than solid Lowest among all
