Question

distinguish the properties of the three phases of matter with reference to -
1-arrangement of particles
2-total energy content
3-movement of particles
5-intermolecular attraction
6-intermolecular space
7-compressibility​

Answer 1

Answer:

The state of a substance depends on the balance between the kinetic energy of the individual particles (molecules or atoms) and the intermolecular forces. The kinetic energy keeps the molecules apart and moving around, and is a function of the temperature of the substance and the intermolecular forces try to draw the particles together.

gases

average kinetic energy of the molecules is larger than average energy of attractions between molecules

lack of strong attractive forces allows gases to expand

liquids

denser than gases

have a definite volume

attractive forces not strong enough to keep molecules from moving allowing liquids to hold shape of container

solids

intermolecular forces hold molecules together and keep them from moving

not very compressible

crystalline – solids with highly ordered structures
