Question

Due to ……..force of attraction between the particles of a solid, which holds them together tightly at
fixed positions giving a definite shape

Answer 1

Answer:

Intermolecular force holds solid tightly.

Answer 2

Solids conduct heat better than liquids, which are in turn better conductors than gases. The particles in a solid are most tightly bond and their positions are more or less fixed relative to each other (Fig. 5a). The force between adjacent particles is strong, making heat transfer by collision the most efficient.
