Question

Write down 5 general properties of solids , liquids and gases

Answer 1

Answer:

Solids:

1. Solids have definite volume.

2. They have definite shape.

3. They have definite mass.

4. They are incompressible and rigid.

5. Intermolecularbdistance are short and hence the intermolecular forces are strong.

Liquids:

1. Liquids are moderately compressible.

2. They do not have definite mass, volume and shape.

3. They are less rigid as compare to solids.

4. Their forces are weak as compare to solids.

5. They take the shape of a container.

Gases:

1. Gases also do not have definite shape and volume.

2. They are highly compressible unlike solids and liquids.

3. The particle of gases occupy far more space than solids and liquids.

4. They are weightless.

5. They have low density.
