Asubstance in a specific state of matter has a definite volume but it does not have a rigid structure. which of following could be another characteristic of the substance? it is highly compressible. it also has a definite shape. its particles move randomly at high speeds. its intermolecular forces can be partially overcome.

Its intermolecular forces can be partially overcome.

Explanation:

Solid state : In this state, the molecules are arranged in regular and repeating pattern. They have fixed shape and fixed volume. The molecules are closely packed that means they are fixed and vibrate in place but they can not move from one place to another.  They are in compressible.

For example : Copper

Liquid state : In this state, the molecules are present in random and irregular pattern. They have fixed volume but take the shape of the container. The molecules are closely packed but they can move from one place to another and thus intermolecular forces can be overcome. They are less compressible.

For example : water

Gaseous state : In this state, the molecules are present in irregular pattern. They have neither fixed shape nor volume.The molecules are not closely packed and they can move randomly at high speeds. They are highly compressible.

For example : Helium gas

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.

where's the diagram?
