Open in App

Solution

Solids Liquids
1. Highly strong intermolecular forces between the molecules, lead to a definite volume in Solids. 1. The intermolecular forces are stronger than gases but weaker than solids.
2. Solids have a definite shape to them. 2. Liquids do not have a definite shape.
3. The intermolecular space between solids is absent. 3. The intermolecular space is moderate but present.
