In a solid, molecules are tightly packed and held in a fixed position by strong intermolecular forces. These forces prevent the molecules from moving freely past one another, giving solids their definite shape and volume. The molecules only vibrate in place, leading to the solid's rigidity.

What is a solid compound which contains water molecules in its crystalline structure called?
Hydrate: a solid compound that contains water molecules as a part of the solid crystalline structure
What occurs when molecules are distributed evenly through a solid liquid or a gas?
When molecules are evenly distributed through a solid, liquid, or gas, we say that the substance is in equilibrium. In a solid, the molecules are tightly packed and vibrate in place. In a liquid or gas, the molecules move freely and randomly.
State in wich atoms or molecules are very close together and are regularly arranged?
In a solid state, atoms or molecules are very close together and are regularly arranged in a fixed, repeating pattern. This arrangement contributes to the solid's rigid structure and defined shape.
What is the arrangement of water molecules in a solid?
In a solid state, water molecules are arranged in a crystalline structure with a specific geometric arrangement. This arrangement enables water molecules to form a fixed pattern and maintain a solid shape.
How do the molecules in a solid behave and what factors influence their movement and interactions within the solid structure?
In a solid, molecules are tightly packed together and vibrate in place. Factors that influence their movement and interactions within the solid structure include temperature, pressure, and the strength of the bonds between the molecules.
What are molecules that are joined in an ordered structure?
When molecules are linked in organized positions has solid results. When heat is absorbed by a solid the molecules vibrate faster and faster.
What is the difference between the molecules in a hot solid and hot liquid?
The molecules in a solid vibrate in place. The molecules of a liquid are moving about.
What happens to the molecules in a solid when it dissolves?
When a solid dissolves in a solvent, the intermolecular forces holding the molecules in the solid lattice break. The solvent molecules surround the solute molecules, causing them to separate and disperse evenly throughout the solvent. The solute molecules become completely surrounded by solvent molecules in a process called solvation.
What is a short definition of solid?
solid have many molecules
How do the molecules of a solid differ from the molecules in a gas?
In solid, the molecules r tightly packed by intermolecular forces, but in gas these forces r very loose.
The state of matter in which there is little movement of molecules is a?
solid. In a solid, the molecules are tightly packed together and have minimal movement compared to liquids and gases.
Does salt act like a solid but really isn't?
No. Salt (sodium chloride, e.g.) has a well-defined molecular structure. The fact that its molecules can be put in solution with solvents like water has no bearing on its reality as a solid.
What is a solid compound which contains water molecules in its crystalline structure called?
Hydrate: a solid compound that contains water molecules as a part of the solid crystalline structure
Are the molecules in coffee bonded?
In any solid the particles have bonds holding the atoms together into molecules, and bonds (or forces) holding the molecules together to form the solid.
What happens to molecules at 0K?
Molecules at zero will not be gas anymore. Molecules will then become a solid.
Why are molecules closer when its a solid?
molecules that start closing together turn into solid example: think of water, when molecules are loose the water is liquid but when the molecules are packed together the water turns into ice
Do molicules move faster in a solid or in a liquid?
Molecules in a liquid move faster than in a solid because the intermolecular forces in a liquid are weaker, allowing molecules to move around more freely. In a solid, molecules are held tightly in a fixed position by strong intermolecular forces.
