Question

State one property of solid which liquid does not possess

Answer 1

Rigidity — It is the property of a substance in which the shape of the substance does not change due to an external force

• It is the property that helps a substance retain its shape when force is applied to it.
• It is also the property of a substance, the quality or state of being rigid
• Rigidity is based on the intermolecular force
• High inter-molecular force higher the rigidity of the substance
• The properties of the rigidity are almost negligible in liquid and gas compared to the solid

Thus, Rigidity is one property of solid that liquid does not possess.
