a solid is different from a liquid in shape and volume because a solid has a fixed shape and a liquid is not a fixed shape and it takes shape of its container.
Loved the essay.
Can't wait for the picture.
Liquids, like solids have a definite volume. While liquids don't have a definite shape, they can take the shape of a container which can be measured the same way as with solids.
At room temperature most metals are solids. They are this way in order to be malleable so they can be worked.
Sound is a mechanical wave. It requires a medium for propagation. Since the particles in a solid are close together, the sound energy is propagated way faster in solids rather than liquids and gases whose particles are not as close.
Diffusion in gases is faster than in liquids because the particles in gas move way faster than in liquids. The gas particles therefore spread out more quickly and diffusion is completed faster.
A good way to decide is knowing that things that are saturated fats are liquids (or very soft solids) at room temp. Things like butter and oil. Grapes are not unsaturated fat, as they are mostly composed of air, water, and sugars.
liquids don't have a particular form solids do and take up a shape liquids do not.
Gas isn't denser than liquids and solids. It's the other way around. And THIS is because the atoms in liquids and solids are closer together and there is less space to move around. In solid objects, the atoms are so close and compacted they don't move. in liquids, the atoms are a little bit farther apart. in gases, they are very spread out, making the amount of atoms LESS dense than the solids.
I can only tell you that gases are does not have a difinite shape and volume . E.g air / nitrogen / carbon dioxide / water vapour / . . .
Liquids and solids are same in the way that they are made out of the same atoms, just those atoms are being set in a different environment and temperature.
Gasses, liquids and solids.
It has to do with surface area. A crushed quantity of a solid substance has a much greater surface area than the solid chunk. The gas reacts with the surface of a solid. The same is true for solids and liquids.Pulverizing or grinding a substance increases the rate of reaction, many small particles have more total area than large particles.So by increasing the surface area of reactants it allows collisions with other reactants which increases the reaction rate.
Liquids, like solids have a definite volume. While liquids don't have a definite shape, they can take the shape of a container which can be measured the same way as with solids.
Liquids and Gases are both matter, and are not solids.
Solids transmit sound and vibration better than liquids and gases because solids' particles molecule's are stuck close together but gas' particles are far off wandering around while liquid's particles are not so close but closer than gas . The best sound/vibration creator is solids then liquids and last gases . Plus to put it in a way that any first grader would say is that a solid is hard so when you bang them together they make an astronomical sound . Its nothing really complex .
The proper temperatures to bake different foods are determined by the way the ingredients in the food react to each other at different levels of heat. All of these are chemical reactions of different sorts, such as melting (solids turning to liquids) and evaporation (liquids turning to gas.)
No one invented them; they are part of the way the world is. Inventing is when you take something that exists, as in solids, liquids and gases of various kinds, and combine them in such a way that they make something with unique characteristics and uses. The telephone is an invention. Water is not.
