What are the properties of solid,liquid,and gas?
S. No. | Solid state | Liquid state | Gaseous state |
1. | Definite shape and volume. | No definite shape. Liquids attain the shape of the vessel in which they are kept. | Gases have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume. |
2. | Incompressible | Compressible to a small extent. | Highly compressible |
3. | There is little space between the particles of a solid. | These particles have a greater space between them. | The space between gas particles is the greatest. |
4. | These particles attract each other very strongly. | The force of attraction between liquid particles is less than solid particles. | The force of attraction is least between gaseous particles. |
5. | Particles of solid cannot move freely. | These particles move freely. | Gaseous particles are in a continuous, random motion. |
