Differentiate between the liquid and gas.

Open in App

Solution

LIQUID GAS
A liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape on its own A gas neither has a definite shape nor definite volume of its own
A liquid can flow but can't be heaped Gas can flow easily in all directions but cannot be heaped
Liquid can have only one free surface A gas has no free surface of its own
Molecules in a liquid are less tightly packed meaning the intermolecular space is more than that in solids. Molecules of a gas are very loosely packed or negligible and the molecular space in gas is very large than solids and liquids
Intermolecular forces in liquids are weak Intermolecular force in gas is almost zero.
