Solution

The correct option is B False
  • As we know, in solid, there is a strong force of attraction, in liquids force of attraction is more than that of gases and less than that of solid, and in gases the force of attraction is negligible.
  • So the intermolecular interactions between molecules are weaker in liquids, they constantly tend to flow i.e they have fluidity.
  • Solids, on the other hand, have an extremely strong intermolecular force of attraction that prohibit molecules from moving around.
  • This makes heaping solids easy while maintaining their form and structure.
  • Hence, Liquids can flow whereas solids can be heaped.

Hence the given statement is false.
