Question

write down the five general properties of solid, liquid, gas
​

Answer 1

Solids :

1. The molecules here are very tightly packed having negligible or very less intermolecular space.

2. They have the strongest force of attraction.

3. The molecules have very small vibration about their mean position i.e., small amplitude.

4. They have a definite shape and volume.

5. They are generally hard and rigid.

6. They are good conductors of heat.

Liquids :

1. Molecules are less tightly packed

2. Attraction is less than that of solids.

3. The molecules here can move from one place to another.

4. Do not have any particular shape of their own and thus acquire the shape of the vessel.

5. A particular quantity of a liquid has a definite volume at a given temperature.

Gases :

1. The force of attraction between the molecules is the least.

2. The intermolecular space is the largest.

3. Neither have a definite shape nor a definite volume.

4. The molecules move independently.

5. Worst conductors of heat.

Answer 2

the Above mentioned are the five general characteristics of solid liquid and gas
