Question

How are particles arranged in liquids and gases? Show it with the help of a diagram.

Answer 1

There are 3 states of matter:

1. Solid: In this state of matter, the particles are closely bound to each other. This means that they are closely packed in a system and the arrangement is uniform. The intermolecular space between the particles is minimum.
2. Liquid: In this state of matter, the particles are not so closely packed. The arrangement between the particles is not uniform. The intermolecular spacing between the particles is more than solid but less than the gaseous state.
3. Gases: In this state of matter, the particles are very far away from each other and the arrangement is not uniform. The intermolecular spacing between the particles is very much in the case of gases.

The diagram given below is showing the arrangement of particles in Solids, liquids, and Gases.
