Which state(s) of matter possess negligible compressibility and rigid in nature? |
Gas Solid Liquid All of these |
Solid |
The correct answer is option 2. Solid. Solids have a definite shape, distinct boundaries and fixed volumes, that is, have negligible compressibility. Solids have a tendency to maintain their shape when subjected to outside force. Solids may break under force, but it is difficult to change their shape, so they are rigid. |
