Best Answer

the basic difference is between the distance between the molecule which totally changes their shape and structure .......

GAS: The molecules of gases are very far from each other therefore they neither have definite shape nor definite volume

they can be compressed easily and the rate of diffusion is highest in gases

LIQUID: The molecule are far but not very far from each other . As they are lit bit far therefore they dont have definite shape . they take the shape of their container. they have definite volume

their compressibility is less than gasses, they can be compressed to some extent under high pressure . their rate of diffusion is less than gasses.....
