Answer 1

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The molecules are compact and close together

Answer 2

The molecules are closed and compact. (option D)

• Molecules in a solid are closely packed.
• Since they are closely packed, they cannot move from their place instead they vibrate in their mean position.
• Their attractive forces between the molecules are very strong.
• Molecules in a solid will have a definite shape and volume since they are a closed structure.
• These molecules are bound together by covalent or ionic bonds.
