Question

Give reasons for the following:- 1) Solids are incompressible 2) solids have negligible kinetic energy

Answer 1

solids are incompressible because they have no intermolecular space. 

they have negligible kinetic energy because their molecules are not in a state of vibration. They are in equilibrium position and not in motion

Answer 2

1) Solids are incompressible
the molecules in the solids are tightly packed and there are not intermolecular spaces present in the solid
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) solids have negligible kinetic energyas the molecules are tightly packed in the solid , the molecules cannot move easily therefore solids have negligible kinetic energy
