(a)
Interpretation:
The physical state of mercury in ice water is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The rigid, incompressible objects present in the surrounding are classified as solid. The rigidity and incompressibility of solids is due to tight packing of particles. The properties of solid are quite different from the properties of liquid and gas.
(b)
Interpretation:
The physical state of mercury in boiling water is to be stated
Concept introduction:
The rigid, incompressible objects present in the surrounding are classified as solid. The rigidity and incompressibility of solids is due to tight packing of particles. The properties of solid are quite different from the properties of liquid and gas.
