Comparison of Gases, Liquids and Solids Property\State Gas Liquid Solid Intermolecular Interaction Virtually none Considerable interaction Flow Fluid – free flow Fluid – nearly free flow Rigid – virtually none Actual/Occupied Volume Ratio Close to Negligible Slightly<1.00 Mode of Motion Virtually random translational motion Restricted translational motion Vibration about fixed sites only Simple Equation of State Yes No
Phase Changes
Dipole-Dipole Forces
Ion-Dipole Forces
Formation of Induced Dipole in a Helium Atom No induction in (a), since there are no ions or polar molecules in close proximity. Induction in (b) due to presence of near ion or polar molecule
Induced Dipoles in Helium The induced dipoles exist only momentarily. Nevertheless, at low enough temperatures, the generated dispersion forces are sufficient for helium to condense.

Surface Tension
Capillary Action (a) Adhesion is higher (b) Cohesion is higher
