- The intermolecular force between the molecules is strong.
- K.E energy of the molecules is less; they cannot flow.
Properties of Solids
The molecules in a solid vibrate to and fro about their mean position.
Properties of Solids
- Laptop - Glass - Table - Door, etc.
Examples of Solids
- The molecules of a liquid are non-rigid.
- Liquids have definite volume but no definite shape.
Properties of Liquids
The intermolecular space between the molecules in liquid is more than that in solids.
Properties of Liquids
The intermolecular force between the molecules is moderate.
Properties of Liquids
- K.E energy of the molecules is enough for the molecules to move within the boundary of the container.
- Liquids can flow.
Properties of Liquids
- Water - Oil - Milk - Juice, etc.
