States Of Matter Flashcards
What are the properties of solid?
Solid has a fixed shape and a fixed volume.
Solid cannot be compressed.
Solids have a high density.
Force of attraction between the particles in a solid is very strong.
The space between the particles of solids is negligible.
What are properties of liquid?
Liquid has a fixed volume but no fixed shape.
Liquids can be slightly compressed. large pressure is required to compress them.
Liquids have lesser densities than solids.
Intermolecular forces of attraction is weaker than solids.
They have considerable space between the particles.
What are properties of gas?
1.Particles of gas have huge intermolecular spaces in the midst of them
2.When pressure is exerted on gas, it contracts. On the other hand, when pressure is freed, the gas expands.
3.The molecules of the gas are in perpetual motion, at a very high velocity. There is a huge amount of intermolecular space amid the molecules. When two gases are mixed, particles of one gas can effortlessly pass through the intermolecular space of the other gas. As an outcome both the gases get completely and consistently mixed. Thus, a mixture of gases at all times remains homogeneous.
4.Since gases have large intermolecular spaces, they have very large volumes when compared to their mass. Therefore, they have less densities.
5.Solids exert pressure only in the downward direction. Liquids apply pressure downward as well as to the sides. But gases apply pressure in all directions.
gas has no fixed and volume
