Question

The statement given below is incorrect. Write the correct statement.

Solids can flow whereas liquids can be heaped.

Answer 1

Explanation of correct answer:

• Liquids can flow as they have the less intermolecular force of attraction in comparison with solids. Hence, the layers of molecules can slide over one another showing moderate fluidity.
• Whereas solids show tight molecular arrangement due to which there are negligible inter-atomic movements. Hence, the layers of molecules can be stacked one upon the other.

Hence, the correct answer is- Liquids can flow whereas solids can be heaped.
