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.....

What is the difference between vaporization sublimation and condensation?

Vaporization is the process of a substance changing from a liquid to a gas, sublimation is the process of a substance changing directly from a solid to a gas, and condensation is the process of a gas changing to a liquid. Each process involves the transformation of matter between different states.

Is a glow stick a gas-liquid solution?

No, a glow stick is not a gas-liquid solution. It is a chemical reaction that occurs between two different substances contained within the stick when they are mixed together, resulting in the production of light.
