Answer to Problem 18LC
Solid particles are arranged in an orderly manner and fixed in their position.
Explanation of Solution
Solids typically cannot be compressed or squashed because the particles are so closely spaced. The particles are held in place and together by forces of attraction.
In solids, the particles are arranged in a coordinated manner. Solids' constituent particles can only move by vibrating about a fixed axis. As a result, solids have a fixed structure and are unable to flow like liquids.
