Question

why solids are so hard and liquids are soft comparatively???

Answer 1

$\huge\text{Hello}$

$\huge\mathbb{Answer}$

- Because the intermolecular forces are strong in solids compared to liquids

Answer 2

In the solid state, the individual particles of a substance are in fixed positions with respect to each other because there is not enough thermal energy to overcome the intermolecular interactions between the particles. ... Most solids are hard, but some (like waxes) are relatively soft....liquids are comparitively less hard due to low FOA
