write the differences in the characteristics of States of matter in the table form in the table contain upon the following properties rigidity fluidity compressibility kinetic energy safe and density
Answers
(b) (i) Rigidity : It is the property which helps a substance to retain its shape when force is % applied to it. Solids are rigid while gases, and liquids are not.
(ii) Compressibility: The particles of matter can be compressed or reduced in volume by applying force or pressure. Gases are highly compressible.
(iii) Fluidity : It is the tendency of a substance to flow. Liquids and gases possess fluidity while solids are rigid.
(iv) Filling a gas container: The molecules of a gas move in all directions and due to negligible interparticle force of attraction can fill the container.
(v) Shape: Solids have definite shape whereas liquids take the shape of the container in which they are placed and gases do not have any shape.
(vi) Kinetic energy : It is the energy possessed by the particles due to their motion. The particles of a gas have maximum kinetic energy due to free motion of gas particles in all directions.
Solids have minimum kinetic energy due to least movement of particles.
(vii) Density : Density is the mass of a substance per unit volume. Solids have highest density since their molecules are closely packed.
Rigidity: The condition which do not alters the shape of solids.
Compressibility: Compressing particles of gases
is called compressiblity.
Filling a gas container: In the laboratory, after the preparation of gases, they are collected in gas jar. This is called filling a gas container.
Fludity: Fluidity means flowing of liquids freely.
Shape: Things are in which form is called shape.
Kinetic energy: The energy possessed by moving body is called kinestic energy.
Density: Density is the mass per unit.
