Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Solids are the substances whose molecules are closely packed together due strong inter molecular forces between them. This causes the solid to have a fixed shape and volume.

Whereas density is mass divided by per unit volume.

Mathematically,         Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Since, density is proportional to mass. So, more is the mass that is, more is the number of molecules held together by strong forces more will be its density.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement solids are high in density and incompressible, best describes solids.

In my opinion I would pick D. 

Multiple answers could be chosen, just due to the fact that a solid is nothing more than just an object that cannot change it's physical shape into an object; just as water would. a solid can have a low density; such as paper, plastics, or even just a piece of wood. 

But think of a block of ice. You can break it, and crush it. It cannot be formed into any other shape. If you did break it, it only would make more ice fragments. And it's next phase is a liquid; if it were to be melted.

Carbon exists in nature as three isotopes. Given the atomic masses and relative abundance of the isotopes, what is the average a
Ivan

The most abundant carbon isotope is carbon-12.

The relative atomic mass of carbon is 12.011, which is extremely close to 12.0. This means that the masses C-13, and C-14 are practically negligible when contributing to the relative atomic mass of carbon.

the C-12 isotope makes up 98.9% of carbon atoms, C-13 makes up 1.1% of carbon atoms, and C-14 makes up just a trace of carbon atoms as they are found in nature.

Which of the following is not a physical change?
Dimas [21]
When you burn paper you are chemically altering it so that is the correct answer. When you do all the other choices all of the components stay the same. Just because it changes shapes doesn't mean it'll change chemically toom

2. The density of helium is 1.78 X 104 g/cm. What is this<br> density in Dg/um??
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

d=1.78\times 10^{-7}\ Dg/\mu m^3

Explanation:

Given,

The density of Helium is 1.78\times 10^4\ g/cm^3

We need to find the density in Dg/μm

We know that,

1 g = 10 dg

1 cm³ = 10¹² μm³

So,

d=1.78 \times 10^4\ g/cm^3\\\\=1.78 \times 10^4\times \dfrac{10\ dg}{10^{12}\ \mu m^3}\\\\=1.78\times 10^{-7}\ Dg/\mu m^3

So, the density of Helium is equal to 1.78\times 10^{-7}\ Dg/\mu m^3.
