Anything that has particles that are closely packed together. Examples: * A cup * A bowl * A lightbulb * A faucet * A microwave * A shirt
Most solids do not have an orderly arrangement of particles: these are non-crystalline solids.
NO
One could be a fixed shape like a brick or cube and the other could be something less dense like a sponge, potato or a tube of toothpaste.
Atoms are in a solid but as in particles it depends on the object.
At its melting points the particles of a substance become looser and can move more freely. There is no order unlike a solids particles, however there isn't complete freedom to move everywhere unlike gases particles.
Amorphous solids can have a random arrangement of particles.
solid
In an amorphous solid, the particle arrangement on both a macroscopic and microscopic scale has no periodicity, it is literally amorphous. On a crystalline solid, the particles arrangement is neat and ordered. There is a periodicity to the particles.
In a liquid, the particles are free to move around; in a solid, they have a fixed position. In a solid, the particles may have a regular structure (i.e., a crystal), or the structure may be irregular.
Most solids do not have an orderly arrangement of particles: these are non-crystalline solids.
Arrangement of particles determind the phase
the arrangement of particles in a pancake are that when you prepare the pancake with the ingredients it turns into a liquid and then when you cook it change into a solid
NO
Gasses, or plasmas.
Crystal
It varies with the compound.
