Answers
ANSWER OF A PART solid have fixed shape liquids no fixed shape gases no fixed shape.
solids have fixed volume liquids have fixed volume gases have no fixed volume .
solid cannot be compressed liquid can be compressed a little gases are most compressible .
solids diffuse very slowly liquid diffuse faster than solid gases diffuse faster than solids and liquids .
solid are rigid liquids are fluid they can flow from higher to lower level gases are highly mobile and move in all directions .
solids have maximum interparticle attraction liquids have less interparticle attraction than solids gases have least force of attraction between particles .
solids are closely packed liquids are less closely packed than solid gases are loosely packed .
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.
