In a solid. There are a WHOLE lot of particles. They are all tightly connected and the only way to separate them is by using a lot of force. In a liquid, the particles are connected but can move around freely. They still have to connect to the other particles, but the bond is weaker and very easily broken. In a gas, the particles are NOT connected and can move around freely. They do not have to be connected, unlike solids and liquids; and they can move, unlike solids.
The three properties of matter are solids, liquids, and gases.
they are fluid
Liquids and gases are amorphous (shapeless), viscous (can flow), and diffuse (have internal space) due to the movement of their molecules.
It has no shape and size and takes the shape of anything. gases are random groups of atoms.
Gases.
A plasma is an ionized gas ... thus its properties are those of a gas PLUS the fact that it can conduct electricity.
Fluid Mechanics
This is a mixture of liquids (ex.: liquid air).
big spaces between the particles???
solids cannot be poured , they cannot also change shape unless you bend it , break a bit of it or melt it. liquids can be poured. gases can not be condensed down
Gases and liquids are not forces themselves; rather, they are the states of matter in which particles are free to move around and are not fixed in place like in solids. The behavior of gases and liquids is influenced by various forces, such as intermolecular forces, which determine their properties and how they interact with their surroundings.
Fluidity and compressibility are properties present in liquids and gases but not in solids. Liquids and gases can flow and take the shape of their container, unlike solids which have a fixed shape. Gases can be compressed under pressure, unlike solids which have a fixed volume.
Liquids are used in hydraulics instead of gases because liquids are nearly incompressible, ensuring consistent force transmission. Gases, on the other hand, are compressible, leading to fluctuations in pressure and decreased efficiency in hydraulic systems. Additionally, liquids provide better lubrication and cooling properties compared to gases.
Common properties of liquids and gases: (i) Both do not have a specific shape. (ii) Both are compressible. (iii) In both the states ,substances can flow. That is why they are called fluids.
Gases have no fixed shape or volume. They expand to fill the container they are in. They are compressible. Gases have low density compared to liquids and solids. They exert pressure on the walls of their container. Gases are highly mobile and can diffuse rapidly.
