Solution

Solid:-

  • Solid is a state of matter which have a definite shape and size.
  • The particles inside a solid are very tightly and closely packed to each other and have strong intermolecular forces.
  • As a result of this they also have fixed volume.
  • Example- glass, rock,

Liquid:-

  • Liquid is a state of matter which do not have a definite shape and size.
  • The particles inside a liquid are loosely packed to each other.
  • As a result of this they do not have a definite shape, but have a fixed volume.
  • They acquire the shape of whatever container they are kept in.
  • Example- water, milk, blood

Gas:-

  • Gas is a state of matter which do not have a definite shape and size.
  • The particles inside a gas are very loosely packed to each other and have weak intermolecular forces.
  • As a result of this they do not have a definite shape, nor a fixed volume.
  • Hence they can be compressed easily as well.
  • Example- air, Helium, Nitrogen

Classification of solid, liquid, and gas in chemical reaction:-

  • A solid can get converted into a liquid through melting, and also a liquid can get converted into a solid through freezing.
  • A solid can get converted directly into a gaseous state, without changing into liquid through a process called sublimation.
  • A liquid can get converted to gas through a process called evaporation.
  • A gas can also be called a vapor when it is at a temperature below its critical temperature.
  • A vapor can be liquefied through compression without cooling through a process called condensation.
