Answer 1

A. Fill in the blank spaces.

ᎥᎥ.) Solids are generally rigid.

ᎥᎥᎥ.) The volume of the liquid does not change, because the molecules do not leave the liquid.

✰ States of matter :-

Matter around us exists in three different states –

Ꭵ) Solid state — Solids have a definite shape, distinct boundaries and fixed volumes, that is, have negligible compressibility.

Solids have a tendency to maintain their shape when subjected to outside force. They are rigid.

ᎥᎥ) Liquid state — Liquids have a fixed volume, but it does not have a fixed shape. They take up the shape of the container in which they are kept.

Liquids flow and change shape, so they are not rigid but can be called fluid. Its compressibility is very low.

➛ Solids, liquids and gases can diffuse into liquids.

ᎥᎥᎥ) Gaseous state — Gas is defined as a state of matter consisting of particles that have neither a defined volume nor defined shape.

Gases are highly compressible.
