As the solid melts to form liquid,

A

interparticle forces of attraction decreases

B

the kinetic energy of the particles increases

C

compressiblity increases

D

all of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When a solid is heated, the interparticle forces decrease, kinetic energy of the particles increases, they start moving apart and break away from neighbouring particles. Compressibility of liquids is slightly more than solids.
