because the force of attraction between the molecules of solid is quite high.

because in solids the particles are compressed together. there isn't much space between these particles. however in liquids the space between particles is more and hence it can move more freely.:)

Why Solids are strong?

Solids are strong because their particles are closely packed together, making it difficult for them to move. This close packing results in strong attractive forces between the particles, providing stability to the structure of the solid. Additionally, the regular arrangement of particles in the solid contributes to its strength by distributing forces evenly throughout the material.


How are liquid mass and liquid volume alike?

Liquids, like solids have a definite volume. While liquids don't have a definite shape, they can take the shape of a container which can be measured the same way as with solids.


What happens when you place a liquid in the freezer?

When liquids are placed in the freezer, most of them freeze over and become solids. There are exceptions to this like alcohol.

Why are both liquids and solids called fluids?

Fluids are neither solids nor liquids. Fluids are a form between solids and liquids. Fluids donot exhibit a fixed shape like solids do and also are not free flowing as liquids are. Fluids, while maintaining their total volume can flow freely upto a certain extent. Though not very accurate, a fluid behaves some what like ketchup :)


What solids made of?

Particles. Just like liquids and gases. The difference between them is that solids have tighter packed particles that are less able to move freely


Do solids and liquids diffuse at the same rate?

No. The particles in the solids have different mass as the particles in the liqiuds, so they diffuse at the different rate. but if their particles have the same rate, they will diffuse at the same rate.


Are jellies considered liquids?

No, jellies are not considered liquids. They are classified as semi-solids or colloids because they have properties of both liquids and solids. Jellies have a gel-like consistency due to the presence of a network structure holding the liquid components together.
