Solids have a definite volume and shape. They cannot be compressed as the molecules in a solid are very closely packed due to strong intermolecular forces that bond the molecules together. They expand when heated and contract when cooled. When heated, the molecules vibrate more and more vigorously in their places as the temperature increases.
What else can I help you with?
What do several solids make up?
several different solids make up a solution
What is process to separate solids from solids?
pick up the solids with your hands and separate them from the liquids :P
What particles are solids?
Solids can be made up of atoms, molecules, or ions.
What structural make up metallic solids?
Metallic solids are composed of individual atoms.
What is process to separate solids from liquids?
pick up the solids with your hands and separate them from the liquids :P
What are solids made up of in matter?
Solids are made up of particles (atoms, ions, or molecules) that are packed close together in a fixed arrangement. The particles in solids vibrate about fixed positions, leading to a definite shape and volume.
Why convection currents can be set up in liquids and gases but not in solids?
Matter doesn't move easily in solids.
What makes up solids liquids and gases?
Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases
In what way are solids different from liquids?
liquids don't have a particular form solids do and take up a shape liquids do not.
What do solids do when they soak liquids up?
When solids soak liquids up, the molecules of the liquid become entrapped in between the particles of the solid . A good example is how bread gets wet.
Do solids take up the shape of a container?
No. Solids are resistant to changes in both shape and volume.
What class of solids is made up of regularly repeating sub-units of tightly packed orderly arrangements of atoms ions or molecules?
You are talking about crystalline solids.
