(a) Tabulate the differences inthe characterisitcs of statesal of matter

Answer»

1.ShapeThey Have definite shape - solidThey do not have definite shape - liquidThey do not have definite shape - gas2.VolumeThey have definite volume - solid They do not have definite volume - liquidThey do not have definite volume - gas3.DensityThey have high density. - solidLiquids have less density than solids. - liquidLiquids have least density. - gas4.Kinetic energy of particles. Least - solidMore than solids - liquidMaximum - gas5.Compressibility Negligible - solidLow - liquidHigh - gas

Rigidity: It is the property of matter to resist the change of its shape.Compressibility: It is the property of matter in which its volume is decreased by applying force.Fluidity: It is the ability of matter to flow.Filling a gas container: On filling a gas takes the shape of the container.Shape: Having definite boundaries.Kinetic energy: It is the energy possessed by the particles of matter due to its motion.Density: It is the ratio of mass with per unit volume
