The difference is "soft seated" or "metal seated". Soft seated valves are used in gas applications were any leakage is absolutely not tolerated. The materials used are Teflon or ceramic. Metal seated valves can have very tight shut-off, it all depends on the coating, pressure in the line, and the lapping of the surfaces.

Is there a difference between liquid check valves and gas check valves?

Yes, there is a difference between liquid check valves and gas check valves. Liquid check valves are designed to prevent backflow in liquid systems, while gas check valves are used in gas systems to control the flow direction of gases. Although they both serve the purpose of preventing backflow, their designs may vary to accommodate the specific properties of liquids and gases.
