 Solids have a definite shape and don’t change it

easily.
 They have high rigidity hence they cant flow.
 Their intermolecular space is very low.
 Intermolecular force of attraction is high.
 Rate of diffusion is negligible as the particles
aren't having much space to mix something in it.
 They aren't much compressible. Their
compressibility is almost nil.
 Liquid does not have fixed shape but has fixed
volume.
 They show the property of fluidity so they are
not rigid.
 Their intermolecular space is more than the
solids but less than gases.
 Intermolecular force of attraction is less than
solid but higher than gases.
 Rate of diffusion is faster than the solids.
 They are compressible up to an extent
 Gases do not have fixed shaped nor fixed
volume.
 They show the property of flowing.
 Their intermolecular space is highest in the all
types of matter.
 Force of attraction between the particles is the
lowest.
 Rate of diffusion is the highest.
 They are compressible and can be liquefied by
increasing the pressure and decreasing the
temperature. Click
