Definite shape and volume |
No definite shape. Liquids attain the shape of the vessel in which they kept. |
Gases have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume. |
|
2. |
There is little space between the particles of solid. |
These particles have a greater space between them. |
The space between gas particles is the greatest. |
|
3. |
Incompressible |
Compressible |
Highly compressible |
|
4. |

The force of attraction between liquid particles is less than solid particles |
The force of attraction is least between gaseous particles.
