Solution
X- A substance has a definite shape and volume, is it called solid. Thus, X is solid.
Y- Gases are highly compressible in nature and also have very large intermolecular distances.
Z - Liquid molecules have fewer intermolecular spaces as compared to gas molecules. Due to which on applying pressure the space between molecules is reduced to a minimal distance and the liquids are slightly compressible.
Thus, X – Solid, Y – Gas, and Z – Liquid as per the given chart.
