Why do solids liquids and gases differ in their physical state
Explanation
matter exists in solids liquids and gas form
Solids: There is no intermolecular space between the molecule of solid and has a strong intermolecular force of attraction therefore the solids are closely packed
solids have a definite shape and definite volume
solids converted to liquids by heating called melting.
solids convert to gases called sublimation
liquids; as compared to solids there is more intermolecular space and less molecular force of attraction in liquids.
therefore liquids have do not have a definite shape but have definite volume
liquids are converted to the ice by freezing at zero degrees Celsius and boil at hundred degrees Celsius
Gases: Gases having maximum intermolecular space and weakest molecular force of attraction therefore do not have definite shape or definite volume.
that is why solids liquids and gases differ in their physical state.
