Question

Solids can flow and liquids can be heaped.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• The particles in solids are very tightly packed and the intermolecular force of attraction is very strong. So the particles in solids cannot flow. But solids can be heaped together.
• The particles in a liquid are less tightly packed than in solids and the intermolecular force of attraction is weaker than in liquids. So the particles of liquids can flow, but they cannot be heaped as liquids will mix together due to large intermolecular spaces.

Hence, the given statement is false.
