The vapour pressure of solids are far less than those of liquid because solids have fixed arrangement of molecules and between atom of solids their is strong intermolecular forces that held the molecules in place and the molecules of liquid have less intermolecular forces as compared to solids.
The vapor pressure of solids is far less than that of liquids because of the intermolecular forces holding solids together. They are much stronger than those holding liquid molecules together.
The vapour pressure is affected by the intermolecular forces. Solids have strong intermolecular forces as compared to liquids so that's why vapour pressure of solids is far less than those of liquids.
The intermolecular bonds in solids are stronger than in liquids.

some solids are more dense than liquids (they sink) but others are less dense which is why not all solids sink
The difference between solids and liquids are as follows: solids have molecules that are compact and donÕt move around, while liquids have molecules which are spaced out and are able to move around. In conclusion the main difference is what the molecules do.
The boiling point is the point at which the vapor pressure of the liquid reaches atmospheric pressure. So, if you add impurities (solutes) to the pure liquid, the theory is that those molecules get in the way of the solvent molecules, and at the surface that results in a LOWER vapor pressure of the liquid. This then results in an INCREASE in the boiling point, because remember that boiling point is when vapor pressure = atmospheric pressure.
Very much higher.
Not all minerals are solids, but those that make rock are usually solids at room temperature.

Liquids and solids are same in the way that they are made out of the same atoms, just those atoms are being set in a different environment and temperature.
Usually yes, but the distance between the particles depends on pressure. A gas at high pressure can actually have particles fairly close together.

Sound can penetrate those mediums.
Yes. Generally speaking they do.
Solids are more compact than liquids. The particles of a solid are closer together. Since heat is the kinetic force between particles, the closer those particles are the easier it is to excite them.
Electro-magnetic waves of many kinds travel through certain solids and liquids: radio waves (these are waves of relatively low frequency/high wavelength) can travel through almost anything. Microwaves - shorter wavelength, higher frequency - need particular materials to stop them. Gamma rays (a form of radioactivity) can pass through many solids, and need a very thick layer of a dense metal such as LEAD to stop them. Visible light, which is also a form of electro-magnetic radiation - can (obviously) travel through some liquids and solids; those which are to some extent transparent.Sound waves - which are pressure waves - can also travel through solids and liquids.Generally, the answer to the question varies according to which solids and liquids are being considered; and each of these will permit a different range of waves to pass through them.

Some properties or characteristics that distinguish gases from solids and liquids are that they are compressible and also can expand to fill the volume in a container. Likewise, gas molecules are far apart and can occupy more space when compared to those of solids or liquids.
Flammable substances are those gases, liquids and solids that will ignite and continue to burn in air if exposed to a source of ignition.
A plasma is an ionized gas ... thus its properties are those of a gas PLUS the fact that it can conduct electricity.
