Explain the general characteristics of solids
Answers
Explanation:
General Characteristics of Solid State
Definite mass, volume, and shape.
Short Intermolecular distance.
Strong Intermolecular Forces.
The constituent particles remain fixed at their positions and can only oscillate about their mean positions.
Solids are incompressible and rigid.
High Density
Hey mates here is the general characteristics of solids
(i) Solids have definite mass,shape and volume.
(ii) There are least intermolecular distances on solids as compared to liquids and gases.
(iii) There are strong intermolecular flow intheir solid state but can flow in molten state.
(iv)The particles of a substance cannot flow in their solid State but can flow in molten state
(v) The constituting particles have fixed positions.They can oscillate only about their mean position,they have vibrational motions only.
(vi) They are rigid and incompressible.
