Constituent particles of a solid have

A

vibrational motion only

B

rotational motion only

C

translational motion only

D

all the three types of motion

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1

In a solid the constituent particle are very closely packed and the forces of attaction among these particles are so strong that the constituent particles in solids have more or less fixed positions.They can only oscillate about their mean positions.Consequently soids are rigid and have a definite shape and volume .
