Question

Why should we call a wooden table a solid? Give two Reasons.​

Answer 1

★ It has a definite shape and volume.

★ It is very rigid and cannot be compressed, i.e., it has a solid characteristic.

★ There is a strong force of attraction between molecules of wood, and intermolecular space is the least.

★ The table does not flow when placed.

As the wooden table acquires all the characteristics of a solid (that is, fixed shape, volume, rigidity, strong force of attraction, least intermolecular space), the wooden table should be called solid.

Answer 2

Answer:

A wooden table should be called a solid because it has a definite shape and volume, rigid, does not flow, the particles are tightly bound with very less kinetic energy and, not diffuse and has negligible intermolecular spaces between its particles.
