Question

why the vapour pressure of solids are far less than those of liquids​

Answer 1

Vapour pressure of solids are far less than those of liquids. ... In case of solid there exist strong inter molecular forces as compared to that of liquids therefore, the vapour pressure of the solid is far less as compared the liquids. Q Amorphus solid like glass is also called super coled liquids.

Answer 2

The vapor pressure of solids is far less than that of liquids because of the intermolecular forces holding solids together. They are much stronger than those holding liquid molecules together.

• Vapor pressure or equilibrium force per unit area is outlined because the pressure exerted by a vapor in physics equilibrium with its condensed phases (solid or liquid) at a given temperature in a very closed system.
• The equilibrium force per unit area is a sign of a liquid's evaporation rate. It relates to the tendency of particles to flee from the liquid (or a solid).
