Question

LIST FIVE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOLIDS AND GASES

Answer 1

Answer:-

The difference between solid and gas are:-

Solids:-

• A solid have definite mass, volume and shape.
• Solids are rigid.
• The particles in a solid are closely packed.
• The empty spaces between them are negligible.
• Solids doesn't undergoes a change in shape easily.
• Solids have high densities.
• Solids doesn't shows the property of diffusion.
• There are large attractive forces between the molecules in a solid.
• Solids cannot be compressed.

Gases:-

• A gas has neither definite shape noe definite volume.
• The attractive forces between the molecules of a gas are negligible.
• The molecules in a gas have high Kinetic energy.
• The gases are highly compressible due to large vacant spaces between the molecules of a gas.
• Gases shows the property of diffusion.
• Gases have low densities as compared to solids.
• Gases can occupy the whole space available to them.
• Gases exert equal pressure in all directions on the walls of container.

More Info:-

• The attractive forces between the molecules of same kind are called cohesive forces.
• The attractive forces between the molecules of different kinds are called adhesive force.
• Heat , sound , hate , shadow ,etc are not regarded as matter because they neither occupy space nor have mass
