Solution

The correct option is A True

The type of state that a matter will attain will depend upon intermolecular forces between atoms.

  • Stronger intermolecular forces of attraction exist between atoms resulting in the solid-state of matter.
  • Strong intermolecular forces of attraction will lock the molecules of solid together.
  • And therefore is responsible for the solid-state of matter.
  • Intermolecular forces of attraction decrease the matter will attain a liquid state.
  • Further decrease in intermolecular forces of attraction will result in a gaseous state of matter.

Hence, The strong intermolecular forces of attraction are responsible for the high rigidity of solids is a true statement.
