give a experiment to prove that solid have definite shape and liquid and gases have no definite shape. please give correct answer and also give some pick of experiment
Answers
Answer:
Solution :
(a) Solids have definite shape and definite volume because the molecules in solid are closely packed and in fixed positions. The molecules can vibrate but do not move around which keeps the shape and volume definite.
(b) Liquids have no definite shape but definite volume because the molecules in liquid are not so closely packed and they have space between them. The molecules can move around and the forces of attraction between molecules is less as compared to solids, so the liquid takes the shape of the container and volume is definite.
(c) Gases do not have a definite shape or volume because the molecules in gases are very loosely packed, they have large intermolecular spaces and hence they move around. The force of attraction between molecules is also very less, as a result gases acquire any shape or any volume.
