Question

Give one word for the following a. The force of attraction between the particles b. The rigid form of matter. A solid which can be compressed easily. The tendency to flow and change shape e. Mixing of substance on their own.

Answer 1

a. Kinetic energy
b.solids
c.sponge
d.fluidity
e.diffusion

Answer 2

Answer:

For a: Intermolecular forces

For b: Solid

For c: Sponge

For d: Fluidity

For e: Diffusion

Explanation:

For a:

The force of attraction which is present between the particles of a matter is known as intermolecular forces. These forces are strongest in solids, then in liquids and least in gases.

Hence, the answer is intermolecular forces.

For b:

There are 3 states of matter:

1. Solid: This state of matter is hard in nature as the particles are strongly bonded to each other.

2. Liquids: The particles have space between them and hence, these have a tendency to flow and are not considered as rigid.

3. Gas: The particles have a lot of space between them and these have a tendency to flow and are not considered as rigid.

Hence, the correct answer is Solid.

For c:

There are exceptions in the solid state of matter. For example: Sponge, as this substance have a definite shape and volume but can be easily compressed although solids cannot be compressed due to its rigidity.

Hence, the answer is Sponge.

For d:

The tendency to flow and change of shape is the property of fluids. This property is known as fluidity.

Hence, the answer is Fluidity.

For e:

The intermixing of the substances by the natural movement of ts particles is known as diffusion.

Hence, the answer is diffusion.
