Physical States of Matter

Solid

• In solids, particles are tightly or closely packed.

• The gaps between the particles are tiny and hence it is tough to compress them.

• Solid has a fixed shape and volume.

• Due to its rigid nature, particles in solid can only vibrate about their mean position and cannot
move.

• Force of attraction between particles is adamant.

• The rate of diffusion in solids is very low.

• An example of solids: solid ice, sugar, rock, wood, etc.

Liquid

• In a liquid state of matter, particles are less tightly packed as compared to solids.

• Liquids take the shape of the container in which they are kept.

• Liquids are difficult to compress as particles have less space between them to move.

• Liquids have fixed volume but no fixed shape.

• The rate of diffusion in liquids is higher than that of solids.

• Force of attraction between the particles is weak than solids.

• Example of a liquid state of matter: water, milk, blood, coffee, etc.

Gas

• In gases, particles are far apart from each other.

• Force of attraction between the particles is negligible and they can move freely.

• Gases have neither a fixed volume nor a fixed shape.

• The gaseous state has the highest compressibility as compared to solids and liquids.

• The rate is diffusion is higher than solids and liquids.

• The kinetic energy of particles is higher than in solids and liquids.

• An example of gases: air, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc.
