The property to flow is unique to fluids. Which one of the following statements is correct?

(a) Only gases behave like fluids
(b) Gases and solids behave like fluids
(c) Gases and liquids behave like fluids
(d) Only liquids are fluids

Answers (1)

Ans. C

Sol.

The intermolecular force among the molecules of a solid is very strong so molecules cannot change its position on increasing temperature. These molecules of solid can vibrate at their own place but cannot leave their place hence they have rigidity.

On the other hand, the intermolecular force among the molecules of liquid and gases are small, so these liquids and gases can acquire the shape of the vessel and can flow easily.

Hence the correct answer of this question is option C.
