Question

What are the general characteristics of solid state_? (Class 12th)​

Answer 1

We know that matter generally exist in three states namely; solid, liquid and gas. When we change the physical conditions by altering the pressure and temperature of the surroundings, we find the states to change and transform from one form to another. The stability of a state depends upon two opposing factors, which are:

•Intermolecular forces

•Thermal energy

These two factors mainly decide the characteristics of a state and predict what the nature of a state would be in desired conditions. Adding further these two factors are also responsible for the formation and existence of solids.

Intermolecular Forces

The forces acting between constituent particles of matter within a solid are called intermolecular forces. The main role of intermolecular forces is to keep the particles of matter; it may be atoms, molecules or ions together and close to each other.

Thermal Energy

Thermal Energy is defined as the energy possessed by the particles of matter due to their movement.Thermal energy increases with rising temperature and tends to move the particles faster. Unlike from intermolecular forces, thermal energy leans on moving the particles of matter far from each other.
