Matter which are highly compressible
Matter which are highly compressible
The correct option is C Gases
Particles of Matter Have Space between them
Matter: Anything or everything which occupies space, possesses mass and offers resistance to any stress applied
on it is called matter.
Explanation for correct option:
(C) Gases: gases are highly compressible : 1.This is because the particles in the gas are far apart and there are large spaces between them.
2.The gases can be compressed into very small volumes by applying large pressures.
Explanation for incorrect option:
(A)Solid: Solids have a definite shape, distinct boundaries and fixed volumes. 1.Solids cannot be compressed : It is difficult to compress a solid even on applying pressure. 2.This is because the constituent particles in the solids are so closely packed that they either come closer or do so when a very high pressure is applied.
(B) Liquid: 1.Liquids cannot be compressed much. 2.This is because its particles are still close together and possess very small spaces between them.
(D) It is not possible because in question there was ask about highly compressible molecules.
Option (a) and (b) are non compressible and compressible respectively.
Gases are highly compressible. This is because of weak inter-molecular force of attraction between the gas molecules. Also there is lot of empty space present between the gas molecules which make them highly Hence option (C) is correct.
