Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

S.No Property           Solid             Liquid               Gases

1. Shape They have a definite shape They do not have a definite shape They do not have a definite shape

2.  Volume They have a definite volume They do not have a definite volume They do not have a definite volume

3. Density They have high-density  Liquids have less density than solids Gases have the least density

4. The kinetic energy of particles Least  More than solids Maximum

5. Compressibility Negligible Low High

Rigidity: It is the property of matter to resist the change of its shape.

Compressibility: It is the property of matter in which its volume is decreased by applying force.

Fluidity: Matter can flow.

Filled a gas container: On filling, a gas takes the shape of the container.

Shape: Having definite boundaries.

Kinetic energy: It is the energy possessed by the particles of matter due to its motion.

Density: It is the ratio of mass with per unit volume

Explanation:

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.
