Answer:
2. Melting-It is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid.
3.If the average kinetic energy is greater than the attractive forces between the particles, a substance will not condense to form a liquid or a solid. If the kinetic energy is less than the attractive forces, a liquid or solid will form.In the fluid, the attractive force is not so strong as it is in solids so they are much sturdy and rough.
4.Yes it is easy because the reason for this property of gases is that there is a very large intermolecular space between gas molecules. On mere applying pressure, they are easily compressed and in liquids, the Intermolecular force is weaker than that of solids. So molecules in a liquid can slip over one another and liquids can flow, unlike solids. so they can also be compressed easily.
