properties of gases liquids

Property Solid Liquid Gas Shape and volume Because of strong inter-particle forces, solids have definite shape and volume Because of slightly weaker inter-particle forces, liquids do not have definite shape but possess definite volume In the a..

Liquids have a definite volume under given temperature and pressure conditions. Though they take the shape of the container, they maintain their volume. The intermolecular forces in liquids are strong and therefore, they do not expand to occupy all the space available (as ..

The Liquid State - The liquid state lies between the gaseous and the solid state. Liquids are neither completely disordered nor completely ordered. The cohesive forces between the liquid particles are strong enough to keep them together but these particles do..

Air is a Mixture of Different Gases - In earlier times Air was considered as an Element but it was found out to be a mixture. The following are the reasons for considering air as mixture and not an element or a compound. a) Air has a variable composition and hence it cannot be represented..

The important fundamental properties of gases are mass, volume, pressure and temperature. These are discussed bel..

Vapour pressure measures the tendency for the molecules to escape from liquid to the gas phase. At lower temperatures the vapour pressure of a liquid is much lower than the pressure on the surface of the liquid. When the temperature of the liquid is gra..
