Expert Solution
Step 1

a) Solids is that physical stage which are have particles packed very densely.

Since the particles are already packed very tightly in solids. 

Hence compressing a solid is difficult.

Hence solids are in-compressible.

Hence option a is FALSE.

 

 

Step 2

b) Since liquid particles are not packed densely.

Hence there is transnational motion as well possible for the liquid atoms.

Hence option b is FALSE.

In case of solids only the motion of atoms possible i vibration only due to tightly packed atoms.
