Question

Explanation:

To determine the correct description of particles in a solid, we analyze each option:

• Option A: "None of these" is incorrect as one of the options (D) is correct.
• Option B: Particles in a solid are not widely spread and free to move around; that describes particles in a gas.
• Option C: Particles in a solid are not close with enough room to move; that describes particles in a liquid.
• Option D: In a solid, particles are tightly packed in a fixed position, which gives solids a definite shape and volume.

Answer:

D. Tightly packed in a fixed position
