Answer:

Particles of matter possess energy called kinetic energy.

Solid cannot be compressed, but gases are highly compressible.

The Kinetic energy of molecules of gases is very large & solids the least.

On heating a sublimable liquid, the molecules break free & escape from the surface of the solid directly into vapour.

Particles of matter move more rapidly on the application of heat
