Question

write down three differences between solid liquid and Gas state

Answer 1

Property

Solid

Liquid

Gas

=>Packing of particles

Particles are packed very close to each another.

Particles are packed less close to each other.

Particles are packed very far from each other.

=>Forces of attraction between the particles

Strongest

Weaker than solids

Negligible

=>Shape and volume

Fixed shape and fixed volume

No fixed shape but fixed volume

Neither fixed shape nor fixed volume

=>Compressibility

Negligible

Higher than solids

Highest

=>Rate of diffusion

Very low

Higher than solids

Highest

=>Density

Highest

Less than solids

Least

=>Kinetic Energy of particles

Very small

Higher than solids

Highest

=>Example

Ice

Water

Water vapour

Answer 2

solid:-
it has its own shape and volume
liquid:-
it can take the shape of the container in which it is placed
gas:-
it can also assume the shape of the sealed container.
solid:-
not compressible
liquid:-
compressible
gas:-
easily compressible
solid:-
particles are tightly packed
liquid:-
particles are moving and not rigid
gas:-
particles are very speedy and moves to any direction
