tension and compression
Solids typically exhibit vibrational motion, where atoms or molecules within the solid vibrate or oscillate around their equilibrium positions. This motion contributes to the rigidity and shape of solids.
Network solids are organized in a crystalline structure at the molecular level, causing brittleness (inflexability). Ductily is usually associated with metallic bonding where electrons are freely shared among particles.
In Plato's theory (hence the 'Platonic' solids)Earth is associated with the cube, as it was strong and sank to the ground.Water is associated with the icosahedron, as it could move easily.Air is associated with the octahedron, as it could both penetrate and be mobile.Fire is associated with the tetrahedron, as it penetrated but did not flow.
Pythagoras referred to the five regular solids as the "Platonic solids." These solids are the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. Each solid is characterized by having faces that are congruent regular polygons and the same number of faces meeting at each vertex. They were associated with the elements in ancient philosophy: earth, air, water, fire, and the cosmos.
Platonic solids are convex regular (equiangular) polyhedra. There are five Platonic solids: the tetrahedron, or pyramid (four equilateral triangles for faces; traditionally associated with the element Fire), the octahedron (eight equilateral triangles; traditionally associated with Air), the icosahedron (twenty equilateral triangles; traditionally associated with Water), the cube (six squares for faces; traditionally associated with Earth), and the dodecahedron (which has twelve regular pentagons for faces and is associated with the legendary Luminiferous Aether that had often been considered an element). These are the only existing regular polyhedra that exhibit convexity; other, non-convex regular polyhedra (meaning that there are angles between some of their faces that are less than 180 degrees as measured from the outside surface) exist and are known as star polyhedra.
Crystalline solids have a particular geometric organization of their atoms. Amorphous solids do not.
Not all solutes are solids.
Solids don't change their size or shape.
spongy solids are those solids which are porous...................simple and straight forward...
Lattices are primarily associated with solids, particularly in the context of crystalline structures where atoms are arranged in a regular, repeating pattern. However, lattice-like arrangements can also be observed in certain liquids and gases under specific conditions, such as in the formation of colloidal crystals or during phase transitions. In these cases, the arrangement is not as rigid or permanent as in solids. Overall, while lattices are most commonly linked to solids, they can appear in other states of matter under certain circumstances.

yes solids do burn.
