Question

Give two reasons to justify that An iron almirah is a  solid.

Answer 1

An iron almirah is a solid at room temperature because:

1. The iron almirah has fixed shape and volume.
2.  Particles of the iron almirah do not flow freely and have fixed positions.

Particles of iron have a very little intermolecular space between themselves and intermolecular force of attraction between these particles is very strong. These characteristics facilitates iron to behave like a solid.
