Not exactly, but to some extents. The difference between cold and hot is that cold lacks heat which makes atomic particles move faster and increase the radius of the electrons orbiting around the nucleus of the atom. While the solid part of the atom which is nucleus stays the same in size when is looses heat energy, it may decrease the orbit of the electrons.

Why can solid materials hold their shape?
Solid Materials hold their shape because the molecules are bound to each other, all solids have the ability to hold their shape when forces are applied. ** Look in your book. If you have CPO Focus on Physical Science, it is in Chapter 5 section 2 page 103 **
Do particles move faster in a gas or liquid?
Particles generally move faster in a gas compared to a liquid. In a gas, particles have more energy and move more freely and quickly as they are not as tightly packed as in a liquid. Conversely, in a liquid, particles are closer together and interact more, resulting in slower movement.
What happens to kenitic energy of the particles when a solid changes to a gas?
Kinetic energy is possessed by virtue of the motion of particles. In solids, particles are tightly packed, so the can not move easily(hence the rigidity). In gases, particles are loosely packed, so they can move more freely(hence its ability to flow). Therefore, KE of particles increases when a solid changes to gas.
Are gas particles held more tightly than liquid particles?
gas particles are not held together and in liquid sthey are not held very tightly.
Would a gas liquid or solid be most affected by the volume of its container?
Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas.Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around.Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. It will take the shape of its container. Particles can move about within a liquid, but they are packed densely enough that volume is maintained.Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume. A gas can be compressed.
Explain how solids are terms in particles?
In a solid, the particles are tightly packed and do not move around much, as opposed to a liquid or gas, in which the particles are more spread out.
Why does the mass of a gas not change when it is compressed?
Non compressed gas has the gas particles spread out more. But when compressed packed more tightly therefore taking up less room but yet still has the same amount of atoms. So you still have the same weight but just that the particles are packed more tightly.
What type of material does sound travel through fastest?
Sound travels through a solid fastest. This is true because the particles are tightly packed, and sound is transmitted by vibrations. Therefore, the more tightly packed the material is, the faster the vibrations are transmitted.

Molecules are packed more tightly in?
density
How is heat transferred between two materials in conduction?
The particles vibrate and cause the particles next to it to vibrate and so on until the vibrations transfer to the next material. This works better in solids because the particles are more tightly packed.

Do chemicals packed together tightly react more slowly?
No
Does temperature effect rubber band elasticty?
Yes. Cold rubber bands are less able to Stretch. Molecules are more tightly packed at lower temperatures
Define melting and melting processes?
Well, sold particles are tightly packed together with bonds connecting them to each other. They are always vibrating, when they are heated the particles start vibrating a lot more until some of the bonds break and the particles have more space to move. This is when they turn into a liquid.
What model best describes the particles of a solid and their motion?
I would describe it as this: All of the particles are tightly packed together with almost no spaces between them. Their motion is very limited, unlike that of a gas where the particles are spaced further apart and they are free to move around more.
