fluidity, filling a gas container, shape, kinetic energy, and
density Also, please compare these properties with solids, liquids
and gases

Dear Student,

Rigidity : It is the state in which the particles of a
substance are fixed in their positions
Compressibility : It is a property by which the volume of a
sunstance can be reduced, or a substance can be made compact, by
pressing it
Fluidity : It is the property by virtue of which, the particles
of a molecule move in space A substance whose particles can move
easily is said to be fluid, for example, liquid
A gas conatiner can be filled with a gas by compressing the
gas, as the particles of a gas have more space between them, and
they can be brought closer to each other, by increasing the
perssure of the gas
Shape of a substance defines the arrangement of constitutent
particles, of that substance in space
Kinetic energy is the energy of any substance in motion
Density : It is the the packing of the constituent particles,
in a given volume of the substance It can also be referred to as
thickness of the substance

Follwoing table provides the comparison between solids, liquids
and gases

Solid

Liquid

Gas

They are very rigid, as constituent particles are tightly held
to each other

They are comparitively less rigid, as the particles can move
and are flexible They take the shape of the container

They are not rigid, as the particles are free to move in
space

They are non compressible, due to close packing of the
particles

They can be compressed to some extent

They are highly compressible, as large space is present between
the particles, adn they can be brought close to each other

They have fixed shape

They take the shape of the container

They also, take the shape of the container

The particles of solids have very less

The particles possess some amount of Kinetic energy The
particles are in motion continously, but do not leave the liquid
surface

The particles possess very large kinetic energy, as they are
continously in motion and move with hihg speeds

The density is high, due to close packing of particles

Density is comparatively lower, than the solids, as particles
are not too close to each other

Density is very low, as the number of particles in a given
volume is very low

Hope, this information is helpful
Enjoy learning!!
