Why solids do not flow Using the particle theory?

1 Answer

Answer :

Solids do not flow because particles in a solid are so close together and their forces of attraction are so strong that they cannot flow past one another. If you have a 8th grade Science & Technology Textbook, you can look at page 89 in the second paragraph (Explaining Flow Using Particle Theory) and 2nd sentence, which is your answer that you are looking for (Using the particle theory explain why solids do not flow?)

Description : Classify the solids into conductors, semiconductors and insulators on the basis of band theory of solids. 

Last Answer : In conductors there is no energy gap between valance band and conduction band, they are overlapped on each other. So electrons can jump from valance band to conduction band easily and material ... band when some amount of energy is supplied to it. Therefore insulators cannot conduct the current.

Description : According to special theory of relativity the mass of a particle – (1) increases with increase in velocity with respect to an observer. (2) decreases with increase in velocity. (3) decreases with decrease in velocity. (4) is independent of its velocity.

Last Answer : (1) increases with increase in velocity with respect to an observer. Explanation: According to the Special Theory of Relativity, the mass of a moving object measures more as its velocity increases until, ... becomes infinite. This is because as an object gains speed, it gains more (kinetic) energy.
