hi, i just look at the ideal gas law course video. i just wondering since liquid and solid is incompressible, is there any law that govern solid and liquid to express the relationship between pressure, temperature and volume?

Question

I would expect any quantitative relationship between pressure, temperature and volume for solids/liquids to be highly dependant on the type of substance (because intermolecular forces are crucial here and quite variable).  Therefore there wouldn't be a "law"  unifying them but a collection of complex experimentally derived relations.  This is not the case for gases because intermolecular forces can often be neglected (although deviations for the ideal gas "law" of course do occur).
