Question

In solids, the particles simply …………………… at their positions.

Answer 1

• Solids have a definite shape and definite volume because the molecules of solids are tightly packed.
• They have strong intermolecular forces of attraction.
• They have negligible space between the molecules because of the tightly packed arrangement they vibrate at their positions.

In solid, the molecules vibrate on either side but they remain at their fixed positions.
