General characteristics of solids

INTRODUCTION :

In solid state the constituent particles are held by strong intermolecular forces, hence particle in solid state does not show Translatory motion. But they can vibrate (oscillate) about their fixed position. therefore solids are rigid and possess definite shape.


MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF SOLID :

  1. The solids have definite mass and volume (shape).
  2. They have short intermolecular distances.  
  3. They have strong intermolecular forces.
  4. Their constituent particles do not possess any translatory motion, but can only oscillate about their mean position.
  5. They are rigid and incompressible.
