Solids are rigid because the inter molecular forces of attraction that are present in solids are very strong. The constituent particles of solids cannot move from their position they can only vibrate from their mean position.

solids are rigid coz there is less inter molecular space between its particles and there is a large inter molecular force which make them tightly packed so they are rigid

Question:
Why are solid rigid?
AnsWer:-
- Solids can be defined as any substance that has a definite shape, has mass and occupies volume.
- The intermolecular spaces between the molecules forming the solid structures are smaller.
- The intermolecular forces are strong.
- The constituent particles (atoms, molecules, nuclei, etc.) has a fixed position and they can oscillate only about their mean position.
- They are incompressible and rigid.
