(1) Solids are rigid and have fixed shape.
(ii) Solids are not compressible but gases are highly con
(iii) Particles of matter have kinetic energy.
(iv) Naphthalene sublimes on heating.
(v) Kinetic energy of molecules of gases is very large​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1) Property dependence

2) Solids have higher density

3)Solid, highest

Liquid, lower than solid

Gas, very high

4) Latent heat of vaporisation

5)Because they exert pressure
