Question

2. Liquids can flow whereas gases can be heaped.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

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.
