Insoluble solid materials are materials in solvents that are carried in them in suspension rather than solution. Suspended materials can come out of suspension, can precipitate, under certain conditons. The best example on a large scale may be a river. It carries stuff in it in suspension, and some have so much insoluble solid material in them they look brown. But near the mouth of the river, the insoluble material, this silt, can precipitate out and form a delta. The actual insoluble material can vary over an extremely wide range of "stuff" depending on what solvent and where we're looking at it. In the lab, we'd have a good chance of knowing what the insoluble solid material was by looking at our experiment. In the lab, we have to deal with both a suspension and a colloid. Both have a fluid solvent that "holds" the finely divided materials, but in a suspension, the material can precipitate out. In a colloid, like milk, the particles in it won't precipitate. Chemistry and geology (hydrology, a sub-specialty), address the nature of insoluble solid materials in the course of study.

∙ 9y agoThere are four states of matter that are seen by scientists as fundamental which are solid, liquid, gas and plasma. A solid element has the characteristics of being resistant to any kind of change to its volume and shape and has a rigid structure. Amongst the many kinds of solid elements there are metals, minerals, ceramics.

∙ 14y agoMost elements are solids at room temperature on the Periodic Table. Examples are Na, C, Li, K, Ca, Au, Ag, Pt. However, there are two liquids; Br and Hg. And there are gases; O, N, F, He, Ne, Ar, Xe (the last four - in Group 8- are noble gases).

What family on the periodic table of elements does the element calcium come from?
solid
How do chemists organize information about elements?
By grouping the elements on the Periodic Table.
Table of periodic elements?
See the link below fot the IUPAC model of the periodic table of elements.
Elements on very first Periodic Table?
Yes, there were elements on the first periodic table. I believe that there are still elements on the periodic table.
Does an acid have to be a liquid?
no, like other elements in the periodic table they can be solid, liquid or gas
How many of the first 18 elements of the periodic table are solid?
Out of the first 18 elements on the periodic table, 10 are solid
What are the state of the periodic table?
Periodic table is an arrangement of elements and the elements could be either solid or liquids or gases.
What are the majority of the elements on the periodic table?
metals in solid forms.
The majority of the elements on the periodic table are?
metals in solid forms.
Is there only solids and gases on the periodic table?
The periodic table contain solid, liquid and gaseous chemical elements.
What is the name of the table of elements?
A Periodic table The Periodic Table of the Elements.
How are the elements arranged?
atomic number
What family on the periodic table of elements does the element calcium come from?
solid
How many minerals on the periodic table?
This is a nonsensical question. Minerals are solid, crystalline, inorganic molecules. They are made of elements, and so elements are obviously not made of minerals.
What is a chart that lists all the known elements?
It is called the Periodic Table of Elements.
How do chemists organize information about elements?
By grouping the elements on the Periodic Table.
