Solution
Solid:
- Solid is one of the important states of matter.
- Solids may be easily identified from liquids and gases, thanks to their rigid and hard nature.
Rigidness and Hardness of Solids:
- Strong intermolecular forces are present in solids.
- Atoms present in the solid are tightly packed and they cannot move freely.
- Hence, solids are hard and rigid.
