Particulate Nature of Matter - Solutions Chapter 7: Particulate Nature of Matter - Solutions Question 1 Choose the correct statement. The primary difference between solids and liquids is that the constituent particles are: (i) closely packed in solids, while they are stationary in liquids. (ii) far apart in solids and have fixed position in liquids. (iii) always moving in solids and have fixed position in liquids. (iv) closely packed in solids and move past each other in liquids. Ans: (iv) Closely packed in solids and move past each other in liquids. Question 2 Which of the following statements are true? Correct the false statements.
