Question

(a) Tabulate the differences in
the characterisitcs of states
of matter.
(b) Comment upon the following:
rigidity, compressibility,
fluidity, filling a gas
container, shape, kinetic
energy and density.
​

Answer 1

1 Rigidity it is the property of matter to ressit the change of its shape.

2 compressibility it is the property of matter in which its volume is decreased by applying force.

3 fluidity it is the ability of matter to flow.

4 filling a gas container on filling a gas take the shape of the container.

5 shape having definite boundaries.

6 kinetic energy it is the energy possessed by the particles of matter due to its motion.

7 density it is the ratio of mass with per unit volume.

Hope this helps you

Answer 2

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.
