Answer:

best answer I could find, hope it helps

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference between Solid Liquid and Gases

Highly Strong intermolecular forces between the molecules, leads to a definite volume in Solids.

The intermolecular forces are stronger than gases but weaker than solids.

The intermolecular forces are practically non-existent. Thus, there is no definite volume.

Solids have a definite shape to them. Liquids do not have a definite shape.

Gases do not have a definite shape.

The intermolecular space between solids is absent.

The intermolecular space is moderate but present.

The intermolecular space is free-flowing and plenty.

The force of attraction between the molecules is incredibly high.

The force of attraction between molecules is pretty moderate.

There is no intermolecular force of attraction between the molecules.

They are incompressible.

Liquids cannot be compressed.

Gases can be compressed quite easily.

Solids have a definite shape and volume.

Liquids have a definite volume.

Gases have no definite volume.
