Differentiate the three states of matter on the basis of Kinetic energy
Kinetic energy:
Gas > Liquid > Solid
Differentiation of three states of matter on the basis energy.
SOLID | LIQUID | GAS |
1. Particles have strong intermolecular force of attraction. | 1. Particles have less intermolecular force of attraction as compared to solids. | 1. Particles have very less intermolecular force of attraction as compared to solids and liquids. |
2. Due to strong intermolecular force of attraction between particles their kinetic energy is less. | 2. Due to moderate intermolecular force of attraction between particles their kinetic energy is more than that of solids. | 2. Due to weak intermolecular force of attraction between particles their kinetic energy is more than that of solids and liquid. |
3. Example: Sodium chloride crystals | 3. Example: Water | 3. Example: Nitrogen gas |
