Gaseous State

The space between the particles is very less.

The space between the particles is slightly more as compared to solids, but still very less as compared to gases. The particles of liquid can slip and slide over each other.

The particles are much farther apart from one another as compared to solids and liquids. They have a very disorderly arrangement of particles compared to solids and liquids.

The intermolecular force of attraction between the particles is strong. Thus, particles in a solid are closely packed.

The intermolecular force of attraction between the particles is strong enough to hold the particles together but not strong enough to hold the particles in a fixed position.

The intermolecular force of attraction between the particles is negligible; hence, particles of a gas move freely in all directions.

Gases thus can mix or diffuse into other gases.
