Chapter 6, Problem 6.1QE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Similarities and differences in the manner a gas and a liquid occupy a container has to be described.

Concept Introduction:

The three states of matter exist in nature and that is solid, liquid and gaseous. These states differ in their physical properties. The state of matter is defined as the form in that a substance can exist.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

The major difference in the gaseous and liquid state arises from the type of intermolecular spaces found in them. The gaseous molecules have sufficient spaces between their molecules while the liquid molecules have comparatively less intermolecular spaces between them. This makes gaseous molecules far more compressible compared to the liquid molecules that are relatively much less compressible.

The similarity in gaseous and liquid states is that both have no fixed shape. As a result, they occupy shape of the vessel they are poured in.
