Question

Expanation and notes on forms of matter solid liquid gas

Answer 1

SOLID

1. they have definite shape,volume and distinct boundaries.
2. they are highly rigid.
3. they cannot be compressed.
4. the inter-molecular forces of attraction is very high
5. the inter-molecular spaces are very less
6. the kinetic energy of the particles are very less
7. the rate of diffusion is very less
8. they cannot flow
9. they have very high density

LIQUID

6. they have high kinetic energy
7. the rate of diffusion is high
8. they can flow
9. they have moderate density
