The correct option is A (ii) and (v)
-
Solids are the substances in which the constituent particles are held together by strong inter-particle forces of attraction.
Due to the strong inter-particle forces, the constituent particles are held together tightly. As a result, the interparticle space is the least in solids, followed by that in liquids and then in gases.
- Since the particles of solid are tightly held together, they resist deformation under external forces.
-
The tight packing of solid particles makes solids incompressible under the application of pressure. However, since the particles of gases have very weak forces and large spaces in between, they are easily compressible.
-
The motion of the solid particles is limited to vibration at their fixed positions and as a result, the diffusion rate in solids is lower than that in liquids and gases.
-
The strong interparticle forces and the tight packing of particles provide solids a definite volume. Gases, on the other hand, due to negligible interparticle forces of attraction and large interparticle spaces, have no fixed volume. They can expland to occupy any amount of space available to them.
Hence, the correct option is a (ii and v)
