Question

What happens to a substance when the space between its constituent particles are decreased?

• A. The volume of the substance increases
• B. The volume of the substance decreases
• C. The mass of the substance increases
• D. The density of the substance decreases

Answer 1

The correct option is B The volume of the substance decreases

When the interparticle distance is minimised, volume gets decreased.
$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}$
Since mass remains constant and volume decreases therefore density increases.
