Question

What are solid rigid?

Answer fast

Answer 1

Answer:

Solids are rigid because of the intermolecular forces of attraction present in the solid. The intermolecular forces existing among the constituent particles of solid are very strong. That's why the particles of solid cannot move from their positions, they only vibrate about their mean positions.

Answer 2

Answer:

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.
