Question

How does the degree of disorder of a gas compare to that of a liquid or a solid? please explain your answer. this is a chemistry home work.

Answer 1

Molecules of gases are spaced far apart from each other compared to liquids and solids. This results in greater disorder in gas molecules. Liquid molecules are spaced slightly closer together than gas molecules, so the disorder is less than gas molecules. Solid molecules are the most tightly packed, and often vibrate in position. This gives solid molecules the least disorder.
