Properties of solid, liquid , gas
♣ Properties of Solids:
1) Solid has a fixed shape and a fixed volume.
2) Solid cannot be compressed.
3) Solids have a high density.
4) Force of attraction between the particles in a solid is very strong.
5) The space between the particles of solids is negligible.
♣ Properties of Liquids:
1) Liquid has a fixed volume but no fixed shape.
2) Liquids can be slightly compressed. large pressure is required to compress them.
3) Liquids have lesser densities than solids.
4) Intermolecular forces of attraction is weaker than solids.
5) They have considerable space between the particles.
♣ Properties of Gases:
1) Gases have neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
2) Gases can be compressed easily.
3) Gases have the least density among the three.
4) Intermolecular forces of attraction are weakest.
5) The space between the gas particles is large.
