That would depend on the nature of the particles present. If you have a molecular solid, it's the intermolecular distance. If it's ionic then you'd say the interionic distance, though you'd have to make it clear whether you are referring to the distance from the positive ion to the negative ion, or from one like ion to the next.
Distances between molecules in solids and liquids are usually on the order of a few Angstroms. Distances between molecules in a gas can vary from almost liquid-like distances in highly compressed gasses near their critical point all the way to thousands of kilometers in the interstellar void.
Molecules and atoms, whether they are in a solid, liquid, or gas phase, engage in random thermal motion. The higher the temperature, the more random thermal motion there will be. Since nothing ever cools down to absolute zero, there is always some residual motion, although it can be brought down to an extremely low level in the laboratory.
Particles in a solid are tightly-packed, so there is no movement at all, therefore no space.
Depends on what it is that is solid.
Molecules in substances, and atoms in elements.
The distance between molecules of a liquid depends on the type of liquid and its temperature.
Closely packed ,tightly packed
intermolecular spacing of solid
verry
Solids become liquids when the temperature reaches melting point, groups of particles start to brake away from each other. This is when the solid starts becoming a liquid. Liquids become solids on cooling, the particles move slower and become a solid.
molecular structure
No they are the furtherst away out of solids, liquids and gases.
In the liquid state, particles move freely,the particles are not closely packed they can slip and slide on each other and have greater space between them as, compared to solids.ORThe intermolecular space is more in liquids than in solids and so, it can difusse faster.That is why rate of difussion in liquids is higher than that of solids.
No, liquids have loosely-packed particles that move about. On the other hand, solids are said to be closely packed in fixed position.
Particle spacing is the closest together in solids. In liquids the spacing is close, however the particles have the freedom of movement. In gas, the particles have lots of kinetic energy, therefore they are far apart.
It means that the particles of the liquid are rolling around. Example: Smurfs, they keep together and in the magic land they run around
The motion of particles in gasses, liquids, and solids are all different. Gas particles can move much more quickly than solids.
Solids become liquids when the temperature reaches melting point, groups of particles start to brake away from each other. This is when the solid starts becoming a liquid. Liquids become solids on cooling, the particles move slower and become a solid.
almost together

diffusion.
not easily compressible
The common denominator would be the kinetic energy of the particles making up the solids, liquids, and gases.
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.
the particles in solids are closer together than in liquids and gases allowing it to keep its shape
Particles. Just like liquids and gases. The difference between them is that solids have tighter packed particles that are less able to move freely
