1. Rigidity can be expressed as the tendency of matter to resist a change in shape. Compressibility is the ability to be reduced to a lower volume when force is applied. Fluidity is the ability to flow. By filling a gas container we mean the attainment of shape of the container by gas. Shape defines aRead more

    Rigidity can be expressed as the tendency of matter to resist a change in shape.

    Compressibility is the ability to be reduced to a lower volume when force is applied.

    Fluidity is the ability to flow.

    By filling a gas container we mean the attainment of shape of the container by gas.

    Shape defines a definite boundary.

    Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a particle due to its motion.

    Density is mass per unit volume.
