Which of the following statement is correct?
Which of the following statement is correct?
The correct option is C Solids have fixed shape due to strong interparticle force
Correct option :- c) Particles are closely packed in solids.There is strong force of attraction between the particles of a solid is present which holds them together in fixed positions.Hence , particles have fixed shape.
Explanation for incorrect options:-
Option a) :- Gases do not have fix volume because the spaces between the particles of gas are not fixed.Since, the particles are free to move, it takes shape and volume of container.
Option b):- Liquids do not have fix shape because the positions of its particles are not fixed due to less inter-particle force of attraction. So, liquid takes the shape of its container.
Option d):- Since option “a” and option “b” are not correct. Therefore option (d) cannot be all of these.
