Question

Give reasons for the difference in the properties of solids, liquids, and gases?

Answer 1

The reason for the difference in the properties of solids, liquids, and gases are listed below:

(1) Intermolecular space:

1. The spacing between the molecules of the matter is called Intermolecular spaces.
2. Intermolecular spaces vary from solids, liquids, and gases. Intermolecular spaces are least in solids, less in liquids, and maximum in gases.

(2) Intermolecular force of attraction:

1. The force of attraction between the molecules of the matter is called the intermolecular force of attraction.
2. The intermolecular force of attraction is maximum in solids, less in liquid, and least in gases.
