EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -In solids, particles are held very close to each other in an orderly fashion, they are tightly packed and so there is not much freedom of movement. In liquids, the particles are close to each other but not as close as in solids, so they can move around.

Detailed explanation-2: -Solids, liquids, and gases are made of tiny particles called atoms and molecules. In a solid, the particles are very attracted to each other. They are close together and vibrate in position but don’t move past one another.

Detailed explanation-3: -Amorphous solids do not have much order in their structures. Though their molecules are close together and have little freedom to move, they are not arranged in a regular order as are those in crystalline solids. Common examples of this type of solid are glass and plastics.

Detailed explanation-4: -The particles in the solid are touching with very little space between them. The particles in a liquid usually are still touching but there are some spaces between them. The gas particles have big distances between them.

Detailed explanation-5: -The atoms in a solid are so attracted to each other that they vibrate and don’t move past each other. The molecules of a liquid are attracted to each other, but move more freely and past one another.
