Particle diagram of a solid would look like…
A box shape with atoms stuck together inside
Particle diagram of a liquid would look like…
A long box with mildly spread out atoms inside
Particle diagram of a gas would look like…
No box but just a Space with atoms vastly apart
1: physical property of a solid.
Solid has a fixed shape
2: physical property of a solid
Solids have a fixed volume
3: physical property of a solid
High density
4: physical property of a solid
The particles are very close together
5: physical property of a solid
Cannot be compressed
Why can a solid not be compressed
Solids have small inter-particle gaps and are densely packed, hence they cannot be compressed since there is no room for particles to migrate.
1: property of liquid
Liquid has a fixed volume
2:property of liquid
No fixed shape
3:property of liquid
They have considerable space between the particles.
5:property of liquid
Liquids have lesser densities than solids
Example of solid
Gold
Example of liquid
Water
Example of gas
Co2
1: property of gas
they are compressible
2: property of gas
gas has no definite shape
3: property of gas
No definite volume
4: property of gas
A gas can flow in all directions
5: property of gas
they take the shape of the container
