Question

Solids have a high density and negligible compressibility. Explain.

✓

Answer

The forces among the constituent particles (atoms/molecules) are called intermolecular forces.
In solids these forces are strong enough to keep the particles together in fixed positions, as a result solids have a high density and negligible compressibility.
