Why do liquids and solids expand with temperature and not compressible like a gas?
Most solids and liquids expand with temperature (ice is an exception - it contracts with increased temperature) because there is more energy in the particles, and therefore they move faster and take up more space. They are not compressible, however, because the particles in solids and liquids are touching each other, and so have a specific volume, unlike gases.
What household items are a mixture of solids and liquids?
a glass with ice and water
Can you mix solids and liquids?
Yes. They can mix. Like a mixture. For example, ice and water. They will mix.
Will the densiy of 93 ice will it sink or will it float?
Yes, it would actually float. While less liquids sink right to the bottom
When placed in water ice rises to the top of the liquids. Unlike most solids that sink when placed in their liquids forms ice floats because?
There are microscopic bubbles of air trapped in the ice - making it lighter than the water.

How do temperature changes the expansion of solids liquids and gases?
Solid, liquid and gas will expand on heating. One exception is water that expands on being heated, and on being frozen into solid ice.
Can you change a liquids into solids?
with some you can ex) water can turn into ice
What household items are a mixture of solids and liquids?
a glass with ice and water
What liquids don't make ice float?
A liquid that is less dense than ice. Pure alcohol is 70% of the density of water- and ice would not float in it.
What is the difference between gases solids and liquids in terms of volume?
Gases have the greatest volume. Liquids are denser than gases. Most solids are slightly denser than liquids. One important exception is ice. Ice is solid water, but because of its crystal structure, ice is not as dense as liquid water.
What effects does cooling have on solids?
Most solids shrink as they get colder (ice is an exception). Some solids become brittle when they are very cold and can shatter if struck.
Give you examples of solids to become liquids?
solid ice becomes liquid water
What does liquids become when they freeze?
Liquids become solids upon freezing. Most solids contract when they freeze. The expansion of water when it becomes ice is an unusual property.
Are there other solids besides ice and water that will float in the same liquid?
Oil/petroleum (gasoline?) will float on top of water as well.
What are some solids that change into liquids?
Ice turns to water is the first example that comes into my mind.
What are 3 things that are made up of matter?
Liquids (water), solids (ice), and gases (steam).
