Solid State and Kinetic Molecular Theory

Chemistry

Kinetic Molecular Theory of Solids: Following are the points for the kinetic molecular theory of solids;

  1. According to kinetic theory, the particles of solid are closely packed together due to strong intermolecular forces of attraction present between them.

  2. The shapes and the volumes of solids are definite.

  3. Pure Solids have sharp melting points.

  4. The particles of solids can vibrate and rotate at around their fixed positions.

  5. They have less spaces between their particles that’s why they are unable to move freely.
