Solution
Procedure:
A crystal of iodine is heated in a closed flask. The crystal containing ‘X’ no. of particles turns into vapours, which also contain ‘X’ no. of particles and fills the complete flask.
Conclusion:
- Particles of a solid [e.g. crystal of iodine] are more closely packed.
- Particles of a gas [e.g. vapours of iodine] are least closely packed and fill the flask completely.
