Do solids change volume

Most solids expand as they increase in temperature and contract as they get colder.

Interestingly, water after it freezes will start to expand as it gets even colder.

Why do solids change their volume?

it cannot change its volume because it has a definite shape and the electrons are tightly packed but it can change its volume when there is a slight change in temperature.

Why do some solids gets bigger when put in the water?

The most common reason is that the solids are absorbing water in sufficient volume to cause a notable change in volume, without dissolving or losing their appearance as solids.


Do solids have a volum that change easily?

No, solids have a fixed volume that does not change easily. The particles in a solid are packed closely together, which gives them a fixed shape and volume. Changing the volume of a solid typically requires applying a significant amount of force or energy.


What property easily changes in gases but does not easily change in solids?

shape and volume


What properties do only gases have?

Gases have the property of indefinite shape and volume, as they expand to fill any container. They also have low density compared to liquids and solids. Gases can be compressed and expand easily when heated.


How can volume be use to separate solids and gases?

Solids have a definite volume and gases have a variable volume


Do solids liquids and gases have a definite volume?

Solids have a set volume. Liquids have a set volume. Gases do not have a set volume. Why? Solids are solids. They don't move. They're in a 'frozen state' as is. Liquids 'mold' to the shape of their container and they stay there. Gases are free to go anywhere. Always moving and 'flying.'


How can you change the density?

Gases can change their volume and that causes the density to change. Liquids and solids are practically incompressible. Their volume change under pressure is such a small amount that their density changes very little if at all.


Does solids have volumes that change easily?

no because a solid has particles tightly packed it is hard to change a solid


How deos this change in volume affect the density of solids liquids and gasses?

A change in volume with a constant, unchanging Pressure and Temperature results in increased or decreased density, inversely dependent on increase or decrease in volume.


Do solids have no fixed volume or shape?

Solids have a fixed volume or shape at room temperature or pressure.
