Question

Five characteristics of solids, liquid and gas

Answer 1

Answer

The following table summarizes properties of gases, liquids, and solids and identifies the microscopic behavior responsible for each property.

Some Characteristics of Gases, Liquids and Solids and the Microscopic Explanation for the Behavior

gas liquid solid

assumes the shape and volume of its container

particles can move past one another assumes the shape of the part of the container which it occupies

particles can move/slide past one another retains a fixed volume and shape

rigid - particles locked into place

compressible

lots of free space between particles not easily compressible

little free space between particles not easily compressible

little free space between particles

flows easily

particles can move past one another flows easily

particles can move/slide past one another does not flow easily

rigid - particles cannot move/slide past one another

Answer 2

Answer:solid

1. Solids have a fixed shape

2. They have a fixed volume

3.They are not compressible

4.Inermolecular force of attraction between the particles are very strong

5.Solid have high density than liquid and gases

Liquid

1.Liquid assume the shape of the container in which they kept

2.Intermolecular forced are stronger in liquid than gases

3.Liquid are denser than gases

4.Molecules of Liquid can flow past one another freely

5.They have a definite volume

Gas

1.Gasrs are highly compressible

2.Gases exert pressure equally in all directions

3.Gases have much lower density than solids and liquids

4.They have no fixed shape and volume

5.Intermolecular force of attraction between the particles are very weak
