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

Why do liquids flow easily while solids do not?
The particles in quids are more malleable/ easily shaped, since they aren't as close together as particles in solids.
What is the similarity between the particles of liquids and solids?
not easily compressible
What property of molecules gives solids and liquids their definite volumes?
most likely the intermolecular forces. Solids have stronger intermolecular forces due to them being in closer proximity and contact between each other as opposed to liquids and gases.
What do negative charges move easily through?
Most easily?With an attracting or repelling field, a vacuum.In solids or liquids, in conductors.
Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes?
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
What property easily changes in gases but does not easily change in solids?
shape and volume
Do solids keep their volumes?
Yes, solids keep their volume.
How is gas different from solids and liquids?
Both liquids and Solids have definite volumes
What do both liquids and solids fix?
Solids and liquids both have fixed volumes.
What is a solids definite shape?
That means that its shape doesn't easily change.
Do solids have volumes that stay the same?
Normally, yes.
What do both solids and liquids have fixed?
I had that wordserch homework, i'v just found out the answer! Its: Volumes (with an s on the end :}) Enjoy! x
Why volumes of gases are converted into STP conditions and then compares?
Since volumes of gases change with temperature and pressure, a standard value of temperature and pressuure is chosen to which gas volumes are referred. Hence volumes of gases are converted into S.T.P. conditions and then compared easily.
How is a gas diferent from a solid?
both liquids and solids have definite volumes
What properties of solids determine the volumes and surface area?
Resistance to deformation.
Do liquids and solids diffuse easily?
Liquids do, but solids do not.
What is the ratio of the volumes of two similar solids?
The ratio of the volumes of two similar solids is proportional to the cube of the diameter - or of any other linear measurement. For example, at twice the diameter, you would have 8 times the volume.
