Concept introduction:
The solid
Answer to Problem 5STP
Correct answer: The correct option is (d).
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option: The intermolecular space is very less, and they are arranged in dense form. So, it is the property of the solid state.
Hence, this is a correct option.
Reasons for incorrect options:
Option (a) Its particles can flow past one another. This flowing tendency is not shown by the solid. Hence, this is an incorrect option.
Option (b) It can be compressed into a smaller volume, the size of solid fixed not compressed into a smaller volume. Hence, this is an incorrect option.
Option (c) It takes the shape of its container, the solid cannot change its shape they are found in the selected manner of particles. Hence, this is an incorrect option.
