Thermal expansion of solids is the least among the three states of matter due to

A

high kinetic energy of molecules of solids.

B

close packing of molecules in solids.

C

vibratory and rotatory motions of molecules of solids.

D

large intermolecular space present in solids.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In a solid, the molecules are closely packed due to strong forces of attraction, and hence, thermal expansion of solids is the least among the three states of matter.
