Question

Draw three lines to match the particle diagram to the correct state of matter.

Accepted Answer

Solids are defined as a substance which exists in the solid state. They have a fixed, definite shape and have a fixed, definite volume. Solids do not have the ability to flow as liquids and gases do. The intermolecular spaces between the particle are negligible, Hence they are incompressible. The intermolecular force of attraction between the particle is greater than liquid and gases.

liquid is defined as a substance that exists in a liquid state. They do not have a definite shape but have a definite volume. They can flow. The intermolecular spaces between the particle are greater than solid but less than gases, Hence they are a little compressible. The intermolecular force of attraction between the particle is greater than solid but less than gases.

Gas is defined as a substance that exists in a liquid state. They do not have a definite shape and definite volume. They can flow. The intermolecular spaces between the particle is very less(negligible), Hence they are highly compressible. The intermolecular force of attraction between the particle is negligible.
