Question

Liquids are known to have density lower than solid because:

• A. the number of particles is less and the inter-molecular space is minimum
• B. the number of particles is less and the inter-molecular space is more.
• C. the number of particles is least and the inter-molecular space is more.
• D. the number of particles is less and the inter-molecular space is maximum.

Answer 1

The correct option is B the number of particles is less and the inter-molecular space is more.

Liquida have less density as compared to solids as intermolecular spaces are more in liquids.So, for same volume mass of liquid is less as compared to solid.Thus liquids have lesser density.
