Why all solids do not change from solid to liquid to gas on heating?
because some solids have extreme strong force of attraction
What have a lower melting points than ionic solids?
Covalent solids generally have lower melting points than ionic solids. This is because covalent solids are made up of discrete molecules held together by relatively weak intermolecular forces, whereas ionic solids are made up of ions held together by strong electrostatic forces. The weaker intermolecular forces in covalent solids require less energy to overcome, resulting in a lower melting point.
What physical properties of liquid that make them stick in a container?
The intermolecular forces in liquids are not so strong as in solids and liquids take the form of the container.
Why do solids have a regular geometrical shape?
solids have a regular geometrical shape . they have a tendency to maintain their shape when subjected to outside force. solids may break under force but it is difficult to change their shape.
How does solid differ from from a liquid?
Solids have a shape and a typical structure.
Does a solid have an bond?
solids have strong bonds
What are diliquescent solids?
Deliquescent solids, also called hygroscopic solids, are solids with a strong affinity for moisture. For instance, Calcium Chloride is deliquescent. Desiccants are a class of particularly deliquescent substances.
Why all solids do not change from solid to liquid to gas on heating?
because some solids have extreme strong force of attraction
Why are solids noncompressible?
solids are imcompressible or noncompressible because the molecules of solids have very strong intermolecular forces acting between them.They are very tightly stuck withn each other and therefore they are noncompressible.
Why when two solids are placed on top of each other they don't mix?
there are strong forces holding the solids together so they cannot leave their positions.
Solids maintain a definite shape and volume because their particles?
have a strong attractive force
Why vapour pressures of solids are far less than those of liquids?
The vapour pressure of solids are far less than those of liquid because solids have fixed arrangement of molecules and between atom of solids their is strong intermolecular forces that held the molecules in place and the molecules of liquid have less intermolecular forces as compared to solids.
What are solids that do not have a crystal form or definite melting point called?
they must have strong network structures
Why do some solids melt at higher temperatures than others?
because they have strong force of attractions
Can you choose some solids that behave as a liquid and explain why they do this?
Can you choose some solids that behave as a liquid and explain why they do this? Is jelly a solid that behaves as a liquid?? and is it because they arent very strong.
Why the vapour pressure of solids are far less than those of liquids?
The vapour pressure of solids are far less than those of liquid because solids have fixed arrangement of molecules and between atom of solids their is strong intermolecular forces that held the molecules in place and the molecules of liquid have less intermolecular forces as compared to solids.
What are covalent-network solids?
Network Solids are atomic solids that contain strong directional covalent bonds to form a solid that might be best viewed as a giant molecule.
