Properties of Solids and Liquids Explained with Examples

BY Team Aakash Byju's

- Solids are rigid. - Solids have definite shapes and sizes.

Properties of Solids

The particles are closely packed, and hence the intermolecular space between the molecules is very less.

Properties of Solids

- 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.
