Define the terms given below and answer the
questions associated to each term.
(a) Solid : Why do solids not diffuse in one
another?
(b) Liquid : Why do liquids flow?
(c) Gas : Why are gases highly compressible?
Answers
Explanation:
a) Solids cannot diffuse each other because they are tightly packed and they are rigid and doesnt have fluidity. Solid particles are closely and tightly packed around each other that they cannot move to diffuse into one another.
b) Liquids, solids, and gases. Liquids flow because the intermolecular forces between molecules are weak enough to allow the molecules to move around relative to one another.Since the particles can move, the liquid can flow and take the shape of its container. ... This is because the forces of attraction between the water particles pull the particles at the surface together.
c) The atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid or liquid are very close together. There is no space between the individual particles, so they cannot pack together. ... Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles.Gases, unlike liquids and solids, are highly compressible. Solids are for the most part uncompressible as well as many liquids that show only about 10% +/- volume compression on average at pressures over 4000 atm.
(a) Solid do not diffuse into each other because of very strong intermolecular force of attraction. But it some cases it takes place as we can take examples of
Blackboard and chalk when we write something on black board the particlea of chalk get diffused into h blackboard
(b) Liquids can flow because the intermolecular force of attraction is not strong in liquids as compared to solid.
(c) Gases are highly compressible because the intermolecular force of attraction between the particles of gases is very weak thats why they have a lot of space between them and they can be compressed a lot.
