properties of liquids solids

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 definit..

The particles are loosely packed and are bound to each other with forces weaker than those of solids. This gives them definite volume but not definite shape. Thus liquids are mobile and take the shape of the container in which they are placed. Examples: Water, oil, milk e..

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 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 not occupy fixed l..

Solid-Liquid Equilibrium - When a solid is heated it starts melting at a certain fixed temperature (melting point). At this stage even when the heating is continued, the temperature does not change until the whole of solid is converted into liquid. The state ..

The extent to which a solute is soluble in a solvent is expressed in terms of solubility. Solubility of a substance may be defined as the amount of solute dissolved in 100gms of a solvent to form a saturated solution at a given temperature. Solubility of a solid in a liquid depe..

Velocity of Sound in Liquids and Solids - modulus of the liquid r is its density. For water, at a temperature of 20 o C, B = 2.05 x 10 9 Nm - 2 and r = 1000 kmg -3 The velocity of sound in water was determined by Daniel Colladon and Jacob Sturm in the lake of Geneva in..
