Why do solids liquids and gas have different properties related to shape and volume

Answered by admin @



Answer:

1) Lattice structure

2) Cohesive forces between their molecules.

Explanation:

Solids, liquids and gases are different mainly because of their lattice arrangements and the cohesive forces between the molecules.

1) Solids — Solid molecules are closely packed together and the cohesive forces between their molecules are strong. Therefore solids cannot flow.

2) Liquids — Liquid molecules are farther apart compared to solid molecules. The cohesive forces between liquid molecules are also weaker compared to solids therefore liquids flow.

3) Gases — Gas molecules are farther apart compared to solid and liquid molecules. The cohesive forces between their molecules are also very weak. This gives gases their property to flow and compressibility.
