(a) Tabulate the differences in
the characterisitcs of states
of matter
(b) Comment upon the following:
rigidity, compressibility,
fluidity, filling gas
container, shape, kinetic
energy and density.
Answers
Explanation:
Solid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter adapts to the shape of its container but varies only slightly in volume; and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy the volume and shape of its container
Rigidity: The condition which do not alters the shape of solids.
Compressibility: Compressing particles of gases
is called compressiblity.
Filling a gas container: In the laboratory, after the preparation of gases, they are collected in gas jar. This is called filling a gas container.
Fludity: Fluidity means flowing of liquids freely.
Shape: Things are in which form is called shape.
Kinetic energy: The energy possessed by moving body is called kinestic energy.
Density: Density is the mass per unit.
