Answer:
o Definite shape and volume
o High density
o Incompressibility
o Strong intermolecular force of attraction
15. Distinguish between distance and displacement.
Answer:
oDistance is scalar; Displacement is vector

17. Define latent heat of vaporization. How will you
demonstrate that particles of matter are continuously
moving?
Answer:
Latent heat of vaporization is the heat required to convert
1 kg of a liquid into gas without temperature change.
Demo: Add potassium permanganate crystals to water
and observe how the color spreads without stirring.
18. An athlete completes one round of a circular
track of diameter 200 m in 40 s. What will be the
distance he covered and the displacement at the end
of 2 minutes 20 s?
Answer:
o One round distance = πd = 3.14 × 200 = 628 m
o Time = 140 s, Rounds = 140/40 = 3.5
o Distance = 3.5 × 628 = 2198 m
o Displacement = Diameter = 200 m (since 0.5 round
ends on opposite side)
19. Explain the structure and function of Golgi
apparatus.
Answer:
o Structure: Made of cisternae, vesicles, and tubules
o Functions: Modification, packaging of
proteins/lipids; forms lysosomes
