Solution
| S.No. | Solid | Liquid | Gas |
| 1. | Definite shape and volume | No definite shape, it attains the shape of the vessel | it has neither a definite shape nor a definite volume. |
| 2. | Incompressible | Compressible to a small extent | Highly compressible. |
| 3. | Little space between the particles | Greater space between the particles | Greater space between the particles. |
| 4. | Particles cannot move freely | Particles move freely | Particles are in a continuous, random motion. |
| 5. |

A strong current of trivalent gaseous boron passed through a silicon crystal decreases the density of the crystal due to part replacement of silicon by boron and due to interstitial vacancies created by missing Si atoms. In one such experiment, one gram of silicon is taken and the boron atoms are found to be 1000 ppm by weight, when the density of the Si crystal decreases by 12%. The percentage of missing vacancies due to silicon, which are filled up by boron atoms will be ____ g. [Given · Atomic wt. Si= 30, B = 11]
