Give scientific reasons about "Solids are rigid".

1.	Give scientific reasons about "Solids are rigid".
Answer» i. In solids, the particles are closely packed together and the forces holding these particles are strong. ii. As a result, solids are almost incompressible. iii. Their volume is not changed by any outside force and their shape remains unchanged even if an external force is applied. Hence, solids are rigid.

i. In solids, the particles are closely packed together and the forces holding these particles are strong.

ii. As a result, solids are almost incompressible.

iii. Their volume is not changed by any outside force and their shape remains unchanged even if an external force is applied.

Hence, solids are rigid.
