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.

Why the vapour pressure of solids are far less than those of liquids?

What vibrations travel through liquids solids and gases?

Sound can penetrate those mediums.


Are solids Less dense than liquids?

Not necessarily. The density of a substance depends on its mass and volume, so it can vary for both solids and liquids. In general, solids are denser than liquids because the particles in solids are typically more closely packed together.


Can particles in a gas have more energy than those in liquids and solids?

Yes. Generally speaking they do.


What is the common denominator in solids liquids and gases?

The common denominator in solids, liquids, and gases is that they are all forms of matter. They differ in their arrangement of particles and the extent to which those particles move. Solids have tightly packed particles with little movement, liquids have particles that are more spread out with some movement, and gases have particles that are very spread out and move freely.


How are liquids and solids the same?

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.


Why do solids heat up faster than liquids?

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.


Do liquids have a higher particle speed than solids?

Yes. Liquids are liquid because the particles are moving fast and bumping into each other so you get the sliding motion of liquid. Solids have the slowest particle movement of any form of matter. For the longest time it was believed that the particles in solids do not even move, however, scientists have found that the particles do move as they simply vibrate in place.


Are gases are made of particles that are far apart compared with those of liquids and solids?

Yes, gases are made of particles that are far apart compared to those of liquids and solids. Gas particles have more kinetic energy, allowing them to move freely and spread out to fill the entire volume of their container. This results in gases having a lower density compared to liquids and solids.


What is meant by flammable substances?

Flammable substances are those gases, liquids and solids that will ignite and continue to burn in air if exposed to a source of ignition.


What properties do plasmas have that solids liquids and gases dont?

A plasma is an ionized gas ... thus its properties are those of a gas PLUS the fact that it can conduct electricity.


How does pressure affect the density of a liquid?

Most liquids are incompressible (or nearly so), therefore ordinary pressures have only a negligibly small effect on the density of a liquid. However, if you consider enormous pressures like those that may exist at the core of the sun, then a liquid's density will be increased by pressure under these extreme conditions.
