(b) A gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container.

(c) A wooden table should be called a solid.

(d) We can easily move our hand in air but to do the same through a solid block of wood we need a karate expert.

(b) The gas particles move randomly hire and there. So they exert pressure on the wall of container.

(c) The particles of wood are bound with strong molecular force. So it is named as solid wooden. Table is a converted form of wood so it is a solid.

(d) We can move our hand in air because there is enough space between particles of air by which they can be easily resist. So, less force works in the air.
