Question

Why is it that a wooden chair should be called a solid and not a liquid?

Answer 1

Because a wooden chair is a solid and solids have least interparticle space between their molecules while in liquids they have less interparticle space between their molecules as compared to solids and solids have definite shape like a wooden chair but liquids have not.So a wooden chair is a solid.

Answer 2

#Answer:A wooden chair should be called as a solid and not a liquid because of the following reasons:

Explanation:#It is a solid as it has its own shape but liquids do not have their own shape{they take the shape of the container }.

#it cannot be compressed easily{it is rigid} but liquids are not rigid,they flow.

#It has large intermolecular force unlike liquids. that is why it can stand still.

#as it has all the properties of solids,it is a solid and not a liquid
