The three states of matter can be classified on the basis of attraction between particles and inter-particle distance as follows:
- Solids: Constituent particles in solids have high force of attraction such they are packed very close to one another. This results in very less inter-particle distance. Hence , the particles can only vibrate and cannot move.
- Liquids: Constituent particles have intermediate force of attraction such that they can move about freely. Hence , they have higher inter-particle distance than that of solids. Movement of the particles allow diffusion.
- Gases: The constituent particles have very less force of attraction and they move about haphazardly showing Brownian motion. The inter-particle distance is highest among the three states of matter. This characteristics of gases allows maximum compressibility into containers.
