Answers
Solids can very easily be distinguished from liquids by their definite shape, considerable mechanical strength, and rigidity. There are many different types of solids. Some are soft and others are hard. Some are rigid and others are flexible. The atoms and molecules of solids are held together by pulling forces called bonds.
The atoms in solids are held together by interatomic forces. The average location of the atoms in a lattice does not change with time. Since the atoms are almost lacking in mobility, their kinetic energy is negligibly small. It is this lack of mobility which makes a solid rigid.
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.
