Difference Between Solid, Liquid and GasOctober 5, 2016 By Surbhi S 2 Comments

Everything that surrounds us, such as air, food, water, plants, animals, vehicles, clothes and so forth is made up of matter. The matter is a collection of particles and is anything that has mass and occupies space. There are three fundamental states of matter, i.e. solid, liquid and gas. The states of matter take place due to the variations in the molecules of matter. The size and shape of a solid object is definite.

Nevertheless, if we talk about the other two states of matter, that is liquid and gas, then liquids flow to take the shape of the beaker and gases diffuse to fill the available volume completely. The main difference between solid, liquid and gas lies in their properties, which we are going to discuss in this article.

BASIS FOR COMPARISONSOLIDLIQUIDGASMeaningSolid refers to a form of matter which has structural rigidity and has a firm shape which cannot be changed easily.Liquid is a substance, that flows freely, having a definite volume but no permanent shape.Gas refers to a state of matter, do not have any shape but conform to the shape of the container, completely, in which it is put in.Shape and VolumeFixed shape and volume.No fixed shape but has volume.Neither definite shape nor volume.EnergyLowestMediumHighestCompressibilityDifficultNearly difficultEasyArrangement of moleculesRegular and closely arranged.Random and little sparsely arranged.Random and more sparsely arranged.FluidityCannot flowFlows from higher to lower level.Flows in all directions.Molecular motionNegligible molecular motionBrownian molecular motionFree, constant and random molecular motion.Intermolecular spaceVery lessMoreLargeIntermolecular attractionMaximumMediumMinimumSound speedFastestFaster than gas but slower than solidLowest among allStorageDon't need container, for storage.Cannot be stored without container.Needs closed container for storage.
