Compare the properties of solids, liquids, and gases in tabular form.
The difference between solids, liquids, and gases is
Solids | Liquids | Gases |
It has a definite shape. | It does not have a definite shape. It acquires the shape of the container . | It does not have a definite shape. It acquires the shape of the container. |
It has a strong intermolecular force between the molecules. | The intermolecular forces are stronger than gases but weaker than solids. | The value of intermolecular force is very less. |
The intermolecular space between particles is absent. | The intermolecular space between particles is higher than that of solids but less than that of gases. | The intermolecular space is maximum. |
Solids have a definite shape and volume. | Liquids have a definite volume. | Gases have no definite volume. |
Ice is an example. | Water is an example. | Steam is an example. |
