Question

Name the physical state of matter which is most rigid.

Answer 1

States of matter:

Matter is categorised into distinct groups depending on the physical features it exhibits and the states in which it exists; these are referred to as states of matter.

Following are the basic three states of matter:

1. Solid
2. Liquid
3. Gas

1. Solid is the most rigid physical state of matter.
2. In solid state, the particles are tightly packed due to the strong intermolecular force of attraction and thus, it is the most rigid state of matter.
3. It has a distinct form and volume due to its dense packing.
4. The solids are dense and cannot be dispersed.
5. Hence, solid is the most rigid physical state of matter.
