the atoms and molecules are packed so close together there is no room for them to pass through each other

Why solids do not flow?
Solids do not flow because there is very little intermolecular space between them and hence they hold each other very tightly so they cannot flow
Substances that do not flow when poured?
solids i guess
How does heat flow in solids and fluids?
Either by conduction or convection?
Materials that can flow to fit their containers include?
gasses, liquids and solids
When gases liquids or solids are in contact with a moving object the flow of occurs due to frictional forces?
The flow does not always change due to frictional forces when gases, liquids, or solids come in contact with a moving object. Often, the friction is caused by static friction.
Why solids do not flow?
Solids do not flow because there is very little intermolecular space between them and hence they hold each other very tightly so they cannot flow
why don't solids flow?
Solids don't flow, because they have a tight bond with the partiles
Can a solid flow?
yes indeed solids can flow as well. all states of matter are fluids.
Why do solids flow?
Solids do not flow because there is very little intermolecular space between them and hence they hold each other very tightly so they cannot flow
Can solid flow?
Solid materials can flow under certain conditions, such as when subjected to high temperatures or pressures. For example, metals can flow like liquids at high temperatures, a phenomenon known as creep. However, under normal conditions, solids maintain their shape and do not flow like liquids.
Why do streams deposit sediments?
It's the flow of water that carries solids, whenever the flow slows then some of the solids will fall to the bottom of the stream.
Why Solids are strong?
Solids are strong because they are not like liquids,liquids can go through your hand and solids cant
How gases are different from solids?
They are lighter in density as compared to solids. Gas are compressible, whereas not all solids. Gases exhibit better flow characteristics than solids. Gases readily react with other substances. All solids are seen by the naked eye whereas some gases are not.
Substances that do not flow when poured?
solids i guess
Do solids like ice flow?
Any material can flow under stress.
What matters can flow?
Simply, there are three types of matter (which scientists call states), solid, liquid and gas. Liquids and gasses can flow. Solids do not. The solid state is defined by the fact that solids can not flow.
Why do some solids flow?
Some solids can flow because their particles are able to move past each other easily. This is typically seen in solids with weak intermolecular forces or in amorphous materials where the particles are not arranged in a regular pattern. Examples include powders, sand, and some plastics.
