Difference between Solid and Liquid
No. |
Solid |
Liquid |
1. | A very strong intermolecular force between the particles, with definite volume is referred as Solid. | A strong intermolecular force between the particles, with definite volume is referred as liquid. |
2. | It may diffuse into liquid. | Here, higher diffusion than solid. |
3. | Density of the solid is very high. | Density of the liquid is moderate. |
4. | Solid contains definite shape. | Liquid do not contain definite shape. |
5. | Rigidity or fluidity of solid shows that the solids are rigid and cannot flow. | Rigidity or fluidity of liquid shows that the liquids are less rigid and can flow easily. |
6. | Force between the particles of solid is very strong and have least interparticle space. | Force between the particles of liquid is less strong and have lesser inter particle space. |
7. | Particles of solid are packed in definite pattern and because of this, they possess definite geometry. | Particles of Liquid are packed weak and because of this, they don’t have fix shape. |
8. | Examples of solid includes salts and sugar. | Examples of liquid includes water and milk. |
