Question

A liquid can easily change its shape but a solid cannot because

• A. Density of a liquid is smaller than that of a solid
• B. The forces between the molecule is stronger in solid than in liquids
• C. The atoms combined to form bigger molecules. in a solid
• D. The average separation between the molecules is larger in solids

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The forces between the molecule is stronger in solid than in liquids

It is the inter-molecular force which bind the molecules together and give it a shape and this force is very strong in the $solids$ so it is very tough to change their shape.

Option B is correct.
