Answer: The correct statements are:
- The atoms are very attracted to one another.
- The atoms are held tightly together.
Explanation:
Solid state: In this state, the molecules are closely packed and cannot move freely from one place to another that means no space between them and the intermolecular force of attraction between the molecules are strong.
In solid substance, the particles are very close to each other due to this the intermolecular forces of attraction are strongest.
The key point about solid are:
- The atoms are very attracted to one another.
- The atoms are not moving freely.
- It will not spread out evenly to fill any container.
- The atoms are held tightly together.
- The forces of attraction are strong to bring molecules together.
- The atoms are close and in fixed positions.
