Differentiate the three states of matter in terms of movement of particles
Answers
Answer:
solid state: no movement of particles and they are rigid
liquid state: small movement of particles because there particles have space between them
gaseous state: free movement because particles are very far from each other
Explanation:
Solids :
In solids the particles are closely packed. The particles are packed with very little space between them. Thus the movement of particles are less. This is the reason why most solids are tough in nature.
Liquids :
In liquids the particles are separated with moderate spaces between them. The space between them is more when compared to solids and less when compared to gases. Thus there is much more movement of particles than in solids. This is why liquids are able to flow.
Gases :
In gases the particles are arranged with large amount of spaces between them. This allots for much more free movement of particles when than in solids or liquids.
