MCQ
Liquids can be poured easily whereas solids cannot be pour because of:
  • A
    Less intermolecular forces of attraction
  • B
    Negligible intermolecular space
  • C
    Vibratory movement of molecules
  • D
    All the above

Answer

  1. Less intermolecular forces of attraction

Explanation:

We can pour liquid from one container into another because in, liquids the particles are less densely packed as they have less force of attraction than solid molecules.

This gives them the ability to move around and slide past each other.But, solid particles are closely packed due to the strong force of attraction between the molecules, and so, they cannot move.

Thus we cannot pour solids from one container to another.
