Think about jewelry: have you ever seen a liquid necklace or bracelet?
Silver is solid.
solid, at 20 degrees celsius
Liquid silver is worth the same amount as solid silver. This is not its natural state, and it would have be kept at an extremely high temperature to remain liquid.
Yes, because you are changing it from a solid to a liquid
Any pure substance, including silver, at melting temperature can be either liquid, solid, or both. That is the defining characteristic of the melting temperature.
Solid silver is denser. Remember in a solid the atoms are closely packed and in a regular order. When it is a liquid the atoms are less closely packed an in an irregular order. Since liquid atoms are less closely packed, the same number of atoms occupy a larger space/volume. Since they occupy a larger volume for the same number then liquids arr less dense. Density = mass/ volume. Solid ; Using 1 gram (Silver) occupies say 0.25 cm^(3) of space Liquid ; using 1 gram(silver) occupies say 0.255 cm^(3) of space. Hence Density (Solid) =- 1/ 0.25 = 4 g/cm^(3) Density (Liquid) = 1 / 0.255 = 3.91,,, g/cm^(3) These are fictitious figures , just given to demonstrate. Also , remember when a mass gains energy it changes from solid to liquid and EXPANDS(Greater volume/space). So a block of solid silver , when placed in liquid silver will sink, because it is more dense. =
Niobium is a solid. It is a silver-gray metal that is typically found in the solid state at room temperature.
Yes, silver can turn into a liquid state at high temperatures. The melting point of silver is 961.78 degrees Celsius (1763.2 degrees Fahrenheit), at which point it will transition from a solid to a liquid.
Freezing is the change in state from liquid to solid.
The state of liquid to Solid is ; Freezing
The state of liquid to Solid is ; Freezing
The solid silver would sink in liquid silver. This is because the density of solid silver is greater than that of liquid silver. Density is defined as mass per unit volume. Since the solid silver is more compact and has a higher mass per unit volume compared to the liquid silver, it will sink to the bottom of the container.
At normal temperature and pressure, silver (Ag) is a metallic solid.
