Question

Which out of the following does not make sense?

a). Solids have fixed shape and fixed volume.
b). Liquids can be compressed easily, but not gases.
c). The particles of solids have negligible kinetic energy.​
d). Property of diffusion is maximum in the gaseous state.​

Answer 1

Answer:

b) Liquids can be compressed easily, but not gases.

Its your answer.

Answer 2

Statement b) Liquids can be compressed easily but not gases, does not make sense.

Let's understand each statement:

a) Solids have fixed shape and fixed volume.

  Since particles are very closely packed in solids, therefore solids have fixed shape and fixed volume.

b) Liquids can be compressed easily, but not gases.

   Due to large distance between the particles in gases than in liquids , gases are more compressible.

c)The particles of solids have negligible kinetic energy.

    In solids, molecules have negligible space between them, thus kinetic energy is negligible as molecules show very little to no movement.

d)The particles of solids have negligible kinetic energy.

   Due to large interparticle/intermolecular distance gases show maximum diffusion.
