Assessment: WAEC SSCE - Chemistry - 2016 (Objective) Subject: Chemistry

Question 1 Report

Which of the following statements about solids is correct?
Answer Details
The correct statement about solids is that solid particles cannot be easily compressed. This is because the particles in a solid are tightly packed and have fixed positions due to strong intermolecular forces holding them together. Any attempt to compress a solid would require a significant amount of force to overcome these forces and move the particles closer together. In contrast, liquids and gases can be compressed more easily because their particles are not as closely packed and have more room to move around. Therefore, option D is the correct statement.
