Condensation
When a liquid is cooled to its freezing point, it changes state from a liquid to a solid. The molecules within the liquid slow down and lose energy, causing them to form a more organized structure with a fixed shape and volume. This process is known as solidification.
When a solid is cooled, its particles lose kinetic energy and move closer together, causing the solid to contract and become denser. This often results in the solid becoming more rigid and brittle.
A solid gas, like dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide), is already frozen and will continue to be frozen if it is cooled. If a liquid is cooled to its freezing point, then it will freeze and become a solid.
Yes, mercury can be changed from a liquid to a solid by lowering its temperature below its freezing point of -38.83°C (-37.89°F). At this temperature, mercury will solidify into a metallic solid state.
Technically, the freezing point of water is at 0oC. Water is most dense at 5oC, then if cooled further it would be solid at 0oC.
When it is cooled down below melting point.
When a solid is cooled, the particles lose energy and move more slowly, causing them to come closer together. This decrease in energy leads to a decrease in the overall volume of the solid, resulting in contraction. If cooled further, the solid may reach its freezing point where its particles arrange themselves in an ordered structure, forming a crystalline solid.
A solid has definite shape because when particles in any element are cooled down to it's freezing point (becoming a solid), the particles begin to pack together in a particular pattern resulting in the solid's distinct shape.
One example of a substance that can exist as both a liquid and a solid is honey. At room temperature, honey is a thick liquid, but if cooled below its freezing point, it can solidify into a semi-solid state.
a liquid then if cooled further it would turn into a solid a liquid then if cooled further it would turn into a solid
When cooled to below 54.36 K (-218.79 oC , -361.82 oF, oxygens melting point) it will become solid. That's what a 'melting point' is!
no it expands with heat, it shrinks when cooled
