Question
Give two reasons to justify—
(a) water at room temperature is a liquid.
(b) an iron almirah is a solid at room temperature.
Answer
(a) Water at room temperature is a liquid because:
Fixed Volume but No Fixed Shape: It has a definite volume but takes the shape of the container in which it is kept.
Fluidity: It has the ability to flow, which is a characteristic of liquids.
(b) An iron almirah is a solid at room temperature because:
Definite Shape and Volume: It has a fixed shape and a fixed volume that do not change on their own.
Rigidity: It is rigid and cannot be compressed (it maintains its distinct boundaries).
