comment on rigidity compressibility and fluidity with respect to States of matter.
PLEASE REPLY ME QUICKLY.
Answers
(i) Rigidity: The tendency of a substance to retain/maintain their shape when subjected to outside force.
(ii) Compressibility: The matter has intermolecular space. The external force applied on the matter can bring these particles closer. This property is called compressibility. Gases and liquids are compressible.
(iii) Fluidity: The tendency of particles to flow is called fluidity. Liquids and gases flow.
(iv) Filling of a gas container: Gases have particles which vibrate randomly in all the directions. The gas can fill the container.
(v) Shape: Solids have maximum intermolecular force and definite shape.
Whereas liquids and gases takes the shape of container.
(vi) Kinetic energy: The energy possessed by particles due to their motion is called kinetic energy. Molecules of gases vibrate randomly as they have maximum kinetic energy.
(vii) Density: It is defined as mass per unit volume, the solids have highest density.
I have given u comment on all the states of matter..hope it helps...☺️
Answer:
Rigidity: It is the property of matter to resist the change of its shape.
Compressibility: It is the property ofmatter 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.
Hope it helps
