Question

Distinguish solids, liquids and gases in tabular from uder the following characterristic . a) Rigidity b) compressiblity c) inter particle forces of attraction . d) inter - particle space e) kinetic energy of particles . and ans

Answer 1

Rigidity- Solids- Very rigid and strong Liquids- Weak Gas- Very weak
Compressibility- Solids- negligible Liquids- very less Gas- highly Compressable
interparticle force of attraction- Solids- very strong Liquids- weak Gas- very weak
Inter particle space- Solids- very small Liquids- comparatively large Gas- very large
kinetic energy of particles- Solids- negligible Liquids- slow Gas- very fast
