Can a solid change volume?
Because they are solid and cannot be changed. Because their atoms or molecules are held in a fixed position by intramolecular forces. The whole point of a solid is that the particles within it cannot move from their fixed position. In other words, they little particles are squeezed so tight together that they cannot be apart.
How does the particle structure of a solid affect its shape volume and compressibility?
In solid states, the particles are unable to move and there is no free space between them. This gives them a fixed shape and volume. As they cannot move, they cannot be compressed.
What are More detail about the difference between solid liquid and gas?
Solids: they have fixed shape and fixed volume. They cannot be compressed much. They cannot flow. They do not fill their container completely. They have high density. They are heavy. Liquids: they have fixed volume but not fixed shape they take the shape of their container. They cannot be compressed much. They can flow. They do not fill their container completely. They have moderate to high density. Gases: they do not have fixed shape and volume. They can be compressed easily. They can flow. They fill their container completely. They have very low density.
State of matter in which particles are fixed in a rigid structure?
There are three states of matter, solid, liquid and gas. The state of matter wherein particles are fixed in a rigid structure is solid.
What type of substance can conduct electricity in the liquid but not solid phase?
Most ionic solids cannot conduct electricity in the solid phase. They only do so in the liquid phase. While they are solid, the ions in the ionic solid are fixed in their lattice so cannot move to conduct electricity whereas in the liquid phase, the ions are free and mobile and can act as charge carriers for electricity.
What can particles in a solid do?
Particles in a solid can vibrate in a fixed position, but they cannot move freely past each other. This gives solids their fixed shape and volume.
What is a substance which cannot be compressed and cannot flow?
A solid is a substance that cannot be compressed because its particles are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement. Solid substances also cannot flow, as their particles do not have the ability to move past each other easily.
What Bricks is a solid why?
brick is called the solid because it has all the properties of solids that are 1 it has fixed shape and fixed volume 2 it cannot be compressed as its particles are closely packed 3 it cannot flow 4 it has high density 5 the container is not needed to store them
Does solid have a definite volume?
Yes, a solid does not occupy less sapce when it is pressed or squeezed. It cannot be compressed. The volume of a solid does not change. A solid has a fixed or definite volume.
Why do solid have fixed shape?
Solids have a fixed shape because the particles inside them are stuck to each other and they cannot move. :)

What describes a solid?
A solid has substance and shape. It's particles vibrate around a point, but do not 'flow' over each other like a liquid does. Typical 'hard' solids cannot be compressed.
Does a solid have fixed volume?
Yes, a solid has a fixed volume because the particles are tightly packed together and cannot be compressed or expanded easily. This means that the shape of a solid remains constant unless acted upon by an external force.
What is a substance that has a definite shape and volume and whose particles are packed tightly together in fixed positions and cannot move?
a solid.
This has a fixed shape and a fixed volume?
solid
What has fixed volume and a fixed shape?
a solid
