Question

The particles in solid are ________ packed, in liquid are ________ packed and in gas ___________ packed.

• A. very tightly, less loosely, very loosely
• B. less loosely, very loosely, very tightly
• C. very loosely, very tightly, less loosely
• D. tightly, tightly, tightly

Answer 1

The correct option is A very tightly, less loosely, very loosely

1. In solid atoms are very tightly packed because atoms are very close to each other.

2. Liquids have the arrangement of the atoms looser than that of in solid.

3. In gases, atoms are very loosely packed because of the high kinetic energy of atoms in the gas phase.

Hence, option A is correct.
