Why are solids hard and rigid?


Open in App
Solution

Solid:

  1. Due to strong inter-molecular force, particles remain fixed at their positions.
  2. Solid can not be compressed easily when pressed, this means they are hard and rigid due to the molecules are closely packed in solids.

Hence, solids are hard and rigid.
