Question

Solids can not be compressed like gases because :

• A. molecules of solid have very less intermolecular space and the strong force of attractions
• B. molecules of solid have very less intermolecular space and the weak force of attractions
• C. both a and b
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A molecules of solid have very less intermolecular space and the strong force of attractions

Solids are substances with strong intermolecular forces and densely packed structure.So,solids cannot be compressed.but fluids have loosely packed structure,So,they are compressible.
