Why are solids rigid?
Open in App
Solution
The
intermolecular forces of attraction that
are present in solids are very strong. The constituent particles of
solids cannot move from their positions i.e., they have fixed
positions. However, they can oscillate about their mean positions.
This is the reason solids are rigid.
