Solution

The forces that exist between the particles of any substance are called intermolecular forces.
In solids, the particles are very close to each other and therefore the force of attraction between them is very strong.
Solids have a definite shape and definite volume.
Solids are very hard and rigid.
Therefore, the intermolecular force is the strongest in solids.
