Question

We can scratch a

• A. Solid
• B. Liquid
• C. Gas
• D. All of above

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Solid

The Explanations for the correct option:

1. solid is matter it occupies space, its have a definite shape so, we can scratch on them.
2. The atom or molecules of matter in a solid-state are generally compressed as tightly as repulsive forces among them will allow.

The Explanation for incorrect option:

Option(B)-Liquid:

The particles that form a liquid are relatively close together, but not as close together as the particles in the corresponding solid. Therefore, scratching is impossible on it.

Option(C)-Gases :

Gases are phases of matter in which particles are usually very far apart from one another move very quickly and aren't particularly attracted to one another therefore, scratching is impossible on it.

Therefore we can scratch on it.so, Option (A)-Solid is correct.
