liquid particles have limited movements while gas particles will spread to fill the whole container uniformly (limited only by the container's volume) the particle interaction in liquid is much stronger than in gases gases are compressible while liquids are not

particles in a gas- are all spread out, so NOT 1 of the particles are touching.

particles in a liquid - some of the particles are touching and some of them are on their own.

gas- . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . .

liquid- .. . .. .. .. . .

. .. . .. ... . ..

... . . .. .. .. .

just to help some more:

the particles in a solid- are all touching, so EVERY single 1 of the particles is touching another.

Both gases and liquids are fluids, or they take the shape of their container. A gas will have whatever volume it's container has. A liquid always has a volume based on its type and mass(amount). Gases are compressable, liquids usually aren't. Molecules of gas have more energy so they vibrate quicker than molecules of liquid. Because of this vibration, gas molecules spread out more than liquid molecules.

Particles of a gas move more freely than those of a liquid. Therefor, although a given amount of a liquid has no definite shape, and will flow to fill any container that it is in, it will not increase or decrease in volume, whereas a gas will not only fill up the shape of a container, it will also increase in volume, to fill up the whole size of the container.

the particles in a solid are more close together and hold together whereas liq

uid particles spread out more taking the shape of the container that's all i know i xx

liquid particles are more closely packed together than gas are. this is because the force of attraction between liquid atoms are stronger than gas.

Is there a chemical difference between the gauseos and liquid state of the same substance?

There is no chemical difference, the only difference is the speed in which the molecules of the substances move. Slower molecules can be solid or liquid and very high speed molecules can be gas.

Explain the difference between sound traveling through an solid liquid or gas?

sound can travel past in solid because the molecules of solid is tightly closed and next liquid the molecules of liquid not so far away to each other and the slower is gas but it can travel longer than solid and liquid because the molecules in gas are far way and can move freely that can travel longer...

Is it true that the primary difference between a solid and a liquid is a kind of atom in the material?

No. The difference between a solid and a liquid are theorganization and energies of the molecules (or atoms) present. For instance, water (H2O) can be found as a solid (ice), liquid (water from your sink), or gas (steam). All of these are H2O. They differ only in the amount of energy in each state (gas > liquid > solid) and organization of the molecules (spread out -vs- packed together).
