has a definite volume and shape
tightly packed atoms
The characteristics of a solid are incompressibility, rigidity and mechanical strength. The molecules, atoms or ions in solids are closely packed.
As some of the text reveals, it says that Potassium's main state of matter is a solid. Therefore, yes, it's a solid alright !
Solid.
Solid is the densest state of matter because the atoms are packed tightly together in a solid.
Solid, liquid, and gas.
less dense than solid but denser than gas no definite shape
Heterogeneous matter has parts with different characteristics.
There are three basic substance characteristics for matter and they are solid, liquid, and gas.
tightly packed atoms
Examples of the characteristics of matter: state of matter, density, radioactivity, thermal properties, electrical properties, optical properties, chemical composition, etc.
The characteristics of a solid are incompressibility, rigidity and mechanical strength. The molecules, atoms or ions in solids are closely packed.
The three common states of matter are solid, liquid and gas.
solid, shiny, good conductor of electricity
Sugar granules are considered matter because the granules are solid and have weight and inertia. Matter can be anything from a solid to liquid to gas to some other phases.
There are two characteristics that apply to every type of solid. It must have some structural rigidity, as well as a resistance towards changes of shape and volume
The characteristics of the 3 states of matter would be solid is hard, not easily formed. Liquid is free flowing, can easily be put into different shapes if put into a vase, bowl, etc. Gas is invisible and can not be contained.
