Question

On the basis of molecular theory, explain why a solid has definate shape and definite volume​

Answer 1

Answer:

solids have definite shape and volume because the atoms present in most of solids are closely packed and hence they are not free to move so they have definite shape and volume. the atoms are loosely packed in liquid when compared to solids therefore they have definite volume but not shape.

Answer 2

Answer:

In the solid state, the individual particles of a substance are in fixed positions with respect to each other because there is not enough thermal energy to overcome the intermolecular interactions between the particles. As a result, solids have a definite shape and volume.
