Question

The wrong statement in the following is (A) The bulk modulus for solids is much larger than for liquids (B) Gases are least compressible (C) The incompressibility of the solids is due to the tight coupling between neighbouring atoms. (D) The reciprocal of the bulk modulus is called compressibility

Gases have much larger intermolecular distances than those of solids and liquids. So, compressibility of gases is very larger than solids or liquids.

Q. The wrong statement in the following is

The bulk modulus for solids is much larger than for liquids

Gases are least compressible

The incompressibility of the solids is due to the tight coupling between neighbouring atoms.

The reciprocal of the bulk modulus is called compressibility

Gases have much larger intermolecular distances than those of solids and liquids. So, compressibility of gases is very larger than solids or liquids.
