Tabulate the differences between solids, liquids and gaseous state.

Answer»

SOLID STATE -

  • The intermolecular force of attraction between particles is high as compared to LIQUIDS and gases.
  • Solids have definite volume and shape.
  • Solids are rigid and non-compressible.
  • Solids have high density(except ice).
  • Solids do not TEND to flow.

LIQUIDS STATE -

  • The intermolecular force of attraction between particles is high as compared to gases and LESS than solids.
  • Liquids have definite volume but not definite shape.
  • Liquids are not rigid and non-compressible.
  • Liquids have high density than gases but less than solids.
  • Liquids diffuse very slowly.
  • Liquids tend to flow.

GASEOUS STATE -

  • The intermolecular force of attraction between particles is very less.
  • Gases do not have definite volume nor definite shape.
  • Gases are not rigid and they are compressible.
  • Gases have the lowest density than solids and liquids.
  • Gases diffuses at a fast rate.
  • Gases tend to flow.
