Characteristics of solid,liquid, gas Share with your friends Share 0 Goutam Pradhan answered this Solution:Characteristics of Solids:1) Solids have definite shape and volume2) Solids are generally not compressible3) Solids have no fluidity4) Solids have strong intermolecular forces of attraction between molecules5) Solids have very low intermolecular spaces between molecules/atoms.6) Process of diffusion is very slow in solidsCharacteristics of Liquids:1) Liquids have definite volume but no definite shape2) Liquids have negligible compressibility3) Liquids can flow (have fluidity)4) Liquids have intermolecular forces inbetween solids and gases5)Liquids have greater intermolecular spaces compared to solids6) Process of diffusion is fast in liquidsCharacteristics of Gases:1) Gases donot definite volume or shape2) Gases have very high compressibility3) Gases have highest fluidity4) Gases have very weak intermolecular forces of attraction5) Gases have highest intermolecular spaces between molecules6) Process of diffusion is fastest in gases. 0 View Full Answer
