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.

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.


Is a gel a type of liquid?

No, a gel is not a type of liquid. Gels have a semi-solid state, with properties between those of liquids and solids. They have a fixed shape but can flow under pressure.


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.


What properties determine if something is a solid liquid or gas?

Fundamentally, the temperature and pressure, depending on the substance. Most substances may exist in any one of those three forms under certain conditions of temperature and pressure. For example, water may exist in all three forms simultaneously (ice, liquid, vapour) under very specific conditions of temperature and pressure which are referred to as the "triple point of water".


Are the molecules of liquid weakly bonded?

Yes, molecules in liquids are typically held together by weaker intermolecular forces compared to those in solids. The molecules have enough energy to move and flow past each other, giving liquids their characteristic ability to take the shape of their container.

Why vapour pressures of solids are far less than those of liquids?

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.


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.


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 vibrations travel through liquids solids and gases?

Sound can penetrate those mediums.

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

Yes. Generally speaking they do.

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.


What waves can travel through solids and liquids?

Electro-magnetic waves of many kinds travel through certain solids and liquids: radio waves (these are waves of relatively low frequency/high wavelength) can travel through almost anything. Microwaves - shorter wavelength, higher frequency - need particular materials to stop them. Gamma rays (a form of radioactivity) can pass through many solids, and need a very thick layer of a dense metal such as LEAD to stop them. Visible light, which is also a form of electro-magnetic radiation - can (obviously) travel through some liquids and solids; those which are to some extent transparent.Sound waves - which are pressure waves - can also travel through solids and liquids.Generally, the answer to the question varies according to which solids and liquids are being considered; and each of these will permit a different range of waves to pass through 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.
