differences between solids, liquids and gases ?

solids- their molecules r tightly packed, they are rigid,  have definite shape

liquids- their molecules are packed looser than that of solids, they are not rigid, they do not have a definite shape-they take the shape of the container in which they r kept.

gases- their molecules are free to move-very loose, they r not rigid, do not have a definite shape-they take the shape of the container in which they r kept.

 Solids: 

  • have fixed shape
  • have fixed volume
  • have atoms that are close and highly attracted to each other
  • have atoms that have mainly vibrational kinetic energy


Liquids: 
  • have a fixed volume
  • are not compressible, therefore, density is high like the solid
  • take the shape of their container
  • atoms are are close and attracted to one another but have some 12% of inter-particular bonds broken
  • some transitional and rotational kinetic energy is present but mainly vibrational
  • have a boiling and freezing points, vapour pressure, surface tension


Gases: 
  • have no fixed volume
  • low density
  • atoms are far apart
  • little to no attraction for each other
  • take shape of container

solids have a fixed volume and a fixed shape.They are rigid and their molecules are packed together.They have low kinetic energy.The rate of diffusion is very slow in solids.

liquids have a fixed volume but do not have a fixed shale.They take the shape of the container in which they are kept.They are not rigid as compared to solids and their molecules have some space between them.The rate of diggusion is faster as compared to liquids and so as their kinetic energy

gases do not have fixed shape and a fixed volume. They are highly compressable and their molecules have a lot of space berween them.The rate of diffusion and the kintic energy is fastest in gases.
