rticles of solids are arranged compactly and cannot flow out.

Solids have a fixed shape and volume, so they can maintain their shape without the need for a container. The particles in a solid are closely packed and have strong intermolecular forces holding them together, allowing them to maintain their form without external support.

What is decanting?
'''''Decantation''''' is a fast method for separating a mixture of a liquid and a heavier solid. In this process , first the solid impurities are allowed to sediment at the bottom of the container. Then, the pure liquid is poured out carefully from the container into another container. The precipitate or solid is left behind at the bottom of the container.
Is paste a solid?
paste is a solid because it does not spread to fill the bottom of the container.
How do you find the density of a rectangular solid?
Since a liquid has no definite shape or form, it needs to be held in a container. Density = mass / volume So you need a container with graduated markings so that you can measure the volume of the liquid, also, you need the mass of the empty container. You will need to subtract the mass of the empty container from the total mass (liquid and container) to find the mass of the liquid.
Does not change shape when place in different container?
solid
What is the difference between the behavior of a solid and a gas in a sealed container?
The gas expand to fill the volume of the container.
What does not need a container to keep their shape?
a solid
Does a solid need a container to keep its shape?
liquid take shape of the container because the liquid particles stay together but they still more around. solid does not take the shape of the container, because solid is solid. The molecules cannot form the of the container because the molecules a very near each other.Only liquid can take the shape of the container. Thank you.
Does a solid fill a container it is in?
well, it depends on the size of the solid and container.
What state of matter keeps its shape?
Of the three states of matter...solid, liquid, or gas...only a solid wouldn't need a container.
Can particls move in solids?
Of course, for example... Imagine a glass container or maybe a cup. The glass cup is a solid and it could contain liquids in that matter. Also if it's a solid but does not contain a liquid or gas it could still move... Jello is a solid but it still moves.
What does a container contain when there is nothing in it?
The inside of the container!!
Why a solid does not fill the container completely?
possibly because the liquid didnt have enough volume to fill the container also because logicaly we dont really fill a container to the rim instead we get a container that is a little bigger.............just the way the human body works
What happens to gas when it is in a solid container at now temperature?
the gas condenses to become liquid in the solid container
Why does liquid need a container?
in order to keep from spilling everywhere because liquid can't sustain a form without a solid around it or being frozen into a solid
Is a solid like a container?
Yes. More specifically, hail is a solid form of precipitation and is generally either balls or irregular lumps of ice.
What is the root word of the word container?
The root word of container is contain
How can you determine the volume of a regularly shaped solid?
Put solid in a container ; fill container with water to a known container volume; take object out of container and read the remaining volume. subtract this remaining volumefrom the known volume. This result is the volume of the regular or irregular shaped solid.
