Question

State whether the given statement is true or false.

The particles of solids are most tightly packed.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The particles in the solid state have the maximum force of attraction between them, as a result the particles are held very closely together. On the other hand, the gas particles are very weakly held and so, stay away from each other. The force of attraction in liquid particles is in between solid and gas. As a result, they are not as closely packed as solids and not as far apart as in gases.

Hence, the given statement is true.
