Question

Provide a general comparison of the empty space in a solid with that in a liquid as well as

Answer 1

Assuming that the space within the solid or liquid is vacuum, it is not matter because there is no mass inside. However, there is a volume. The volume inside a solid would have regular straight sides because atoms of a solid is compactly arranged. For liquids, the space could be irregular curves and paths because the atoms in a liquid are free-flowing.

Answer 2

Answer : There is large empty space between the molecule in a gaseous state as compared to the solid and liquid state.

Explanation :

Solid state : In this state, the molecules are arranged in regular and repeating pattern. The molecules are closely packed that means they are fixed and vibrate in place but they can not move from one place to another. In the solid, there is no empty space present between the molecules.

Liquid state : In this state, the molecules are present in random and irregular pattern. The molecules are closely packed but they can move from one place to another. In the liquid, there is a some empty space present between the molecules.

Gaseous state : In this state, the molecules are present in irregular pattern. The molecules are not closely packed and they can move freely from one place to another and spread out. In the gaseous, there is large empty space present between the molecules.
