Difference between Liquid and Gas
No. |
Liquid |
Gas |
1. | Liquid do not have definite shape, Hence can take shape of container. | Gas can expand to fill container entirely. Hence, they do not possess definite shape. |
2. | Energy of the liquid is medium. Hence, molecules can move fast. | Energy of the gas is highest. Hence, particles move away from one another. |
3. | Liquid have definite volume and have strong intermolecular force between particles. | Gas do not have definite volume and have weak intermolecular force between particles. |
4. | Rigidity or fluidity of liquid shows that they are less rigid and can flow easily. | Rigidity or fluidity of gas shows that they are not rigid and can flow most easily. |
5. | Compressibility of liquid is negligible and interparticle force of attraction is less strong. | Compressibility of gas is high and interparticle force of attraction is weak. |
6. | Examples of liquid includes milk, water, gator-aid, and kool-aid. | Examples of gas includes carbon dioxide and water vapour. |
7. | Liquids have slight diffusibility. | Gas have high diffusibility. |
