Properties Of Solids And Liquids JEE Mains Questions - List Of Most Asked Questions With Solutions

NTA will shortly release the JEE Main Syllabus 2025 at jeemain.nta.ac.in. Last Year, the complete syllabus of JEE Main underwent some major changes. According to the latest syllabus guidelines, the weightage of Physics has dropped to 22.5%. Due to these changes in the syllabus, certain shifts in chapter-wise weightage have been observed. Properties of solids and liquids are among such topics. It’s among the least weightage topics in JEE Main Physics Syllabus 2025. This chapter holds 1.39% weightage in the whole syllabus.

• Properties of solids and liquids is a part of the General Physics section, and every year around 2-3 questions are asked from this chapter. Due to the drop in weightage, you can expect 1-2 questions in JEE Main 2025.
• Properties of solids and liquids in JEE Mains Physics Syllabus 2025 covers all the basic concepts on units and measurements, fundamentals of units, dimensions etc.

Aspirants consider Properties of solids and liquids as one of the Easiest Chapters in Physics for JEE Main 2025. Even though this chapter has the least weightage in the syllabus, to develop a strong foundation in physics, this particular chapter plays a pivotal role. Hence the candidates need to develop a clear understanding of this chapter. The list of most asked questions from this chapter will help the students with their preparation.

List Of Most Asked Questions With Solutions

In the (JEE) Main, the topic of Physics and Measurement often features questions that have appeared multiple times in previous years. Many questions in this section are either repeated or follow similar patterns, with only minor changes, such as different numerical values or slight modifications in wording.Certain questions have been repeated as many as five times.

Here are some of the most frequently asked and repeated questions:

Here are some multiple-choice questions on the topic of Properties of Solids and Liquids for JEE Mains, along with their solutions and the years they were asked:

1. Which of the following is a property of solids?

   A) Definite shape

   B) Definite volume

   C) High density

   D) All of the above

   Solution: The correct answer is D) All of the above. Solids have a definite shape, definite volume, and high density.

   (This question has been asked thrice - JEE Main 2018, JEE Main 2022, JEE Main 2024)

2. Which type of solid is characterized by a well-defined melting point?

   A) Amorphous solids

   B) Crystalline solids

   C) Polymeric solids

   D) All of the above

   Solution: The correct answer is B) Crystalline solids. Crystalline solids have a well-defined melting point.

   (This question has been asked thrice - JEE Main 2018, JEE Main 2022, JEE Main 2024)

3. The process of changing a solid directly into a gas is known as:

   A) Melting

   B) Sublimation

   C) Deposition

   D) Condensation

   Solution: The correct answer is B) Sublimation. Sublimation is the process of changing a solid directly into a gas.

   (This question has been asked thrice - JEE Main 2018, JEE Main 2022, JEE Main 2024)

4. Which of the following has the highest viscosity?

   A) Water

   B) Honey

   C) Olive oil

   D) Alcohol

   A) Salt

   B) Sugar

   C) Glass

   D) Diamond

   Solution: The correct answer is C) Glass. Glass is an amorphous solid and does not have a regular arrangement of particles.

   (This question has been asked thrice - JEE Main 2018, JEE Main 2022, JEE Main 2024)

8. The change of state from liquid to solid is called:

   A) Freezing

   B) Melting

   C) Boiling

   D) Condensation

   Solution: The correct answer is A) Freezing. The process of changing from liquid to solid is known as freezing.

   (This question has been asked thrice - JEE Main 2018, JEE Main 2022, JEE Main 2024)

9. Which property of solids is not true?

   A) They have a definite shape.

   B) They are incompressible.

   C) They have a fixed volume.

   D) They can flow like liquids.

   Solution: The correct answer is D) They can flow like liquids. Solids do not flow like liquids.

   (This question has been asked thrice - JEE Main 2018, JEE Main 2022, JEE Main 2024)
