The densities of liquids are much _ than gases but _ to solids.
Correct answer: B. greater, closer
- A. smaller, closer
- B. greater, closer
- C. smaller, far away
- D. greater, far away
Explanation
The densities of liquids are much greater than gases but closer to solids. In the case of solids, the molecules are tightly packed and hence large mass is concentrated on less volume. Hence, the density becomes higher. But in cases of liquids and gases, their molecules have intermolecular space, and hence their large mass is not concentrated in a small volume. So the density of solids is generally more than that of liquids and gases.

About Properties of Liquids
Liquid behavior depends on intermolecular forces, which produce surface tension, viscosity, capillary action and a definite volume without a fixed shape. The topic also covers vapor pressure, evaporation, boiling point and the effect of temperature and external pressure, while distinguishing evaporation at the surface from boiling throughout the liquid.
