Write the three differences between the states of solid, liquid and gas.

Answer»

The differences between solids, liquids, and gases are as follows:

Solid	Liquid	Gas
(1) They have definite shape and volume	(1) They have indefinite shape but definite volume.	(1) They have an indefinite shape as well as indefinite volume.
(2) The inter-particle forces of attraction Eire very strong in solids.	(2) The inter-particle forces of attraction is weak in liquids.	(2) The inter-particle forces of attraction are very weak in gases.
(3) The inter-particle spaces are very small in solids. So, the particles are closely packed in solids.	(3) The inter-particle spaces are comparatively large in liquids so the particles in liquids are loosely packed.	(3) The inter-particle spaces are very large in gases. So, the particles in gases are very loosely packed.
