i) shape

solid: definite shape

liquid:no definite shape

gas :no definite shape

ii)volume

solid,liquid: fixed volume

ga:no fixed volume

iii)compressibility

solid:negligible

liquid:comparitively more than solids

gas:very high

iv)diffusion

solid :very less diffusion rate

liquid,gas:very high rate of diffusion

v)fluidity or rigidity

solidvery rigid

liquid,gas:high fluidity rate

Cheers!! hope this helps u!!

thuumps up please!!

Follwoing table provides the comparison between solids, liquids and gases.

SolidLiquidGas
  • They are very rigid, as constituent particles are tightly held to each other.
  • They are comparitively less rigid, as the particles can move and are flexible. They take the shape of the container.
  • They are not rigid, as the particles are free to move in space.
  • They are non compressible, due to close packing of the particles.
  • They can be compressed to some extent.
  • They are highly compressible, as large space is present between the particles, adn they can be brought close to each other.
  • They have fixed shape.
  • They take the shape of the container.
  • They also, take the shape of the container.
  • The particles of solids have very less
  • The particles possess some amount of Kinetic energy. The particles are in motion continously, but do not leave the liquid surface.
  • The particles possess very large kinetic energy, as they are continously in motion and move with hihg speeds.
  • The density is high, due to close packing of particles.
  • Density is comparatively lower, than the solids, as particles are not too close to each other.
  • Density is very low, as the number of particles in a given volume is very low.

Hope, this information is helpful.
