Write the differences between the three states of matter.
Three states of matter are Solid, Liquid and gas.
Table of their differences is as follows:
Solids | Liquids | Gases |
Highly Strong intermolecular forces between the molecules, leads to a definite volume in Solids. | The intermolecular forces are stronger than gases but weaker than solids. | The intermolecular forces are practically non-existent. Thus, there is no definite volume. |
Solids have a definite shape to them. | Liquids do not have a definite shape. | Gases do not have a definite shape. |
The intermolecular space between solids is absent. | The intermolecular space is moderate but present. | The intermolecular space is free-flowing and plenty. |
The force of attraction between the molecules is incredibly high. | The force of attraction between molecules is pretty moderate. | There is no intermolecular force of attraction between the molecules. |
They are incompressible. | Liquids cannot be compressed. | Gases can be compressed quite easily. |
Solids have a definite shape and volume. | Liquids have a definite volume. | Gases have no definite volume. |
