Question

Interparticle distance in solids is the maximum.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The properties of solids are:

1. Solids have a definite shape, size, and volume.
2. They are packed tightly and have no empty spaces between the particles of solids.
3. They are rigid. They do not possess the property of fluidity.
4. The particles of solids are closely packed hence they do not move but keep on oscillating around their mean positions.
5. They have any number of surfaces.

Conclusion: Hence the given statement is false.
