Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The characteristics of molecule that changes in magnitude from one state to another and is largely responsible for a compound to be gas, liquid, or solid is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Solid is a
The liquid is a state of matter in which molecules are packed loosely than that in solid and they are able to move around. That’s why liquids are able to take the shape of its container. For example, water and alcohol.
Gas is a state of matter in which molecules are spread all over the space with very high kinetic energy leading to undefined shape and undefined volume and hence, can be easily compressed. For example, oxygen and nitrogen.
