Question

which of the following best explains why solids do not change much when pressure is applied to them? a the particles in a solid have large spaces between them. b the particles in a solid keep vibrating. c the particles in a solid are packed very close to each other d none of the above

Explanation:

In solids, particles are closely - packed. This close - packing restricts their movement and makes solids resistant to changes in shape or volume when pressure is applied. Large spaces between particles would make a substance more compressible, and particle vibration doesn't directly relate to the non - changeability under pressure.

Answer:

c. The particles in a solid are packed very close to each other
