Answer to Problem 1SAQ
Correct answer:
Option (a) −Gas.
Explanation of Solution
Reasons for the correct statement:
Option (a):
Gas: In this state of matter, the intermolecular forces are very weak due to which the particles (atoms, ions, or molecules) are widely separated and remain in rapid motions. Thus, gases are compressible and have no definite volume and shape.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (b):
Liquid: In this state of matter, the intermolecular forces are strong but less than in solids due to which the particles (atoms, ions, or molecules) are loosely connected and can move past each other. Thus, liquids are incompressible and has definite volume and but not definite shape (take the shape of container).
Option (c):
Solid: In this state of matter, the intermolecular forces are very strong due to which the particles (atoms, ions, or molecules) are closely-packed and cannot move randomly. Thus, a solid are rigid, incompressible and has high mechanical strength and has definite shape and volume.
Option (d): Therefore the correct answer is option (a). None of the above option is not applicable for any option.
