Question

Liquids expand at a _________ rate than solids.

• A. greater
• B. smaller
• C. equal
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A greater

In solids, the molecular structure is very tightly bounded whereas in liquids.

Molecules are not too tightly bounded infact they possess so much flexibility that they are able to possess the shape of container in which they are placed.

And due to this property liquids expands at a greater rate than solids, As solids ( molecules ) will vibrate on heating whereas , liquid molecules will move with higher kinetic energy.

Hence, the answer is greater.
