Question

differentiate between States of matter on the basis of forces of attraction and compressibility​

Answer 1

Answer:

solid - The force of attraction between the particles is strong. Thus, particles in a solid are closely packed. Solids cannot be compressed.

liquid - The force of attraction between the particles is strong enough to hold the particles together but not strong enough to hold the particles in a fixed position. Liquids cannot be compressed much. The compressibility of liquids is almost negligible.

Thus, particles in a liquid are not as closely packed as in solids.

gases - The force of attraction between the particles is strong enough to hold the particles together but not strong enough to hold the particles in a fixed position.

Thus, particles in a liquid are not as closely packed as in solid. Gases can be compressed easily. Examples: LPG cylinders used at home and CNG cylinders used in vehicles.
