compare the speed and space of atoms in a solid, liquid and gas.

Atoms in a solid stay closely together and form this sort of structure in their atoms , a liquids atoms are slightly spread apart and move around more freely than the solid atoms , gas atoms move as far away as possible from each other ( moving around a lot )

Answer:

Decrease order of speed of atoms in solid state, liquid state and gaseous states: gas > liquid> solid

Decreasing order of space of atoms in solid state, liquid state and gaseous states: gas > liquid> solid

Explanation:

Solid state : In this state, the particles are closely packed and does not have any space between them. They have least kinetic energy due to restricted movement. This state has a definite shape and volume.

Liquid state : In this state, particles are present in random and irregular pattern. The particles are closely arranged but they can move from one place to another and thus have higher kinetic energy as compared to solids. This state has a definite volume but does not have a fixed shape.

Gaseous state : In this state, particles are loosely arranged and have a lot of space between them. They have highest kinetic energy. This state has indefinite volume as well as shape.
