The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The property utilized in the manufacture of lead shots is surface tension of liquid lead. In this process, molten lead is made to pass through a sieve from a high tower and allowed to fall in water. The molten lead particles, while descending, assume a spherical shape and solidify in this form, before falling into water.

Liquid State

The liquid state of matter has the following properties:

  • As the particles moves it start moving everywhere inside the volume filled by the liquid.
  • Liquids have a strong inter-particle force, more inter-particle space than solids and enough kinetic energy.
  • It can be transformed into solids due to the solidification process.
  • Evaporation is the conversion of liquids to gases.
  • Liquid particles begin to flow more quickly when the temperature rises.
  • Liquids are difficult to compress because there is less space between particles for particles to migrate.
  • Constant volume but no constant shape.
  • In liquids, the rate of diffusion is faster than in solids.
  • Inter molecular attraction between particles is weaker than that between solids.
