1. An iron almirah is solid because:
(i) It has a fixed shape (which cannot be changed by pressing it with hands).
(ii) It has a fixed volume (which depends on the dimensions according to which it is made).
 

2. (a) Diffusion: 
(i) The matter is made up of tiny particles
(ii) The particles of matter are constantly moving.


(b) Brownian motion: 
(i) The particles of matter are very, very small.
(ii) The particles of matter are constantly moving. 

3. The smell of food being cooked reaches us even from a considerable distance is because of the process of diffusion.
 
4. Diffusion occurs more quickly in gases than in a liquid because the particles in gases move very quickly in all directions whereas the particles in liquids move slowly as compared to the gas particles.
