which state of matter (i) can (ii) cannot easily changed its shape and volume?Why?
Answers
Answer:
Solid cannot change its shape. ... The molecules in a solid are in fixed positions and are close together. Although the molecules can still vibrate, they cannot move from one part of the solid to another part. As a result, a solid does not easily change its shape or its volume
Answer:
Solids cannot easily change their shape and volume, because they have definite shape and volume. Since the intermolecular force of attraction between the particles is more, they are incompressible.
Liquids can change their shape but cannot their volume, because they have no definite shape but have definite volume. Since the intermolecular force of attraction between the particles is less, they are slightly compressible.
Gases cannot change their shape and volume, because they have no definite shape and no definite volume. Since the intermolecular force of attraction between the particles is least, they are highly compressible.
