PROPERTIES OF SOLIDS AND LIQUIDS brief summary Liquids and solids differ from gases therein the particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) are much closer together, therefore the total volume of a liquid or solid is far closer to the sum of the volumes of the particles. the quantity of a gas, as you'll recall from the chapter on “The Behavior of Gases,” is said to the quantity of the spaces between the particles and to not the quantity of the particles. At all temperatures above temperature , atoms and molecules are in constant random motion. The particles travel during a line unless they hit another particle. within the absence of any attractive forces, this molecular motion would cause all substances to be in gaseous form. the very fact that solid and liquid states exist tells us that there are forces that hold molecules and atoms together even once they aren't chemically bonded. The forces of attraction that hold atoms and molecules together in solid and liquid phases are c...
