Answered by admin @



Answer :

The key differences between a liquid and the a gas is,

  • Shape and volume :

A liquid has no fixed shape but it has a volume.

A gas has neither a fixed shape nor a volume.

  • Inter-molecular space :

A liquid has more inter-molecular space between the molecules.

A gas has larger inter-molecular space between the molecules as compared to the liquids.

  • Inter-molecular attraction :

A liquid has some Inter-molecular attraction between the molecules because of the low Inter-molecular spacing between the molecules.

A gas has very low or minimum Inter-molecular attraction between the molecules because of the larger Inter-molecular spacing between the molecules.

  • Fluidity :

A liquid flow from the higher to the lower region but a gas flow in all the direction.
