Question

What are the properties of solids?

Answer 1

Solids:

• A solid is a matter that exists in a solid state.
• Examples are Wood, books, and rock.

Properties of solid:

• The particles in a solid are tightly packed.
• The intermolecular forces present in the solid are very strong due to which they are rigid in nature.
• They are incompressible as there is negligible space between the particles.
• Solid has a definite shape, mass, and volume.
• The matter in its solid-state has the lowest amount of thermal energy as there is no space for the particles to move around.
• Solid tends to have a great electrical conductivity.
