3. Why do solids, liquids and gases have different properties?
ANSWER: Solids, liquids and gases have different properties because:
(a) Solids have definite shape, liquids and gases do not have definite shape.
(b) Volume of solids and liquids are fixed but volume of gases are not fixed.
(c) Particles are closely packed in solids and less closely packed in liquids as compared to solids. In gases, particles are loosely packed.
