### Step-by-Step Text Solution: 1. **Definition of Specific Surface Area**: Specific surface area is defined as the total surface area of a material per unit of mass. It is a measure that indicates how much surface area is available for a given mass of the material. 2. **Properties of Solids**: Specific surface area is particularly relevant to solids because solids have strong intermolecular forces that hold their atoms together, resulting in a rigid structure. This rigidity allows for a well-defined surface area. ...
