List 3 properties of solids. Do the same for liquids and gases.

GAS .assumes the shape and volume of its container

particles can move past one another    

.compressible

lots of free space between particles

.flows easily

particles can move past one another

LIQUID assumes the shape of the part of the container which it occupies

particles can move/slide past one another

.not easily compressible

little free space between particles

.flows easily

particles can move/slide past one another

SOLID .retains a fixed volume and shape

rigid - particles locked into place

.not easily compressible

little free space between particles

.does not flow easily

rigid - particles cannot move/slide past one another

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
