Question

Solids cannot be compressed because

• A. the constituent particles are closely packed
• B. the movement of the constituent particles are restricted
• C. the intermolecular attractive forces are very strong
• D. none of the these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

the constituent particles are closely packed

Solid — A substance that has fixed volume & fixed shape & size is considered as solid

• It has high intermolecular forces
• It has low kinetic energy
• Particles of the solids are closely packed
• They are incompressible in nature
• Possess high density

Thus, the option A is correct I:e the constituent particles are closely packed
