ATOMS! Everything is made of atoms, the tiny particles that themselves consist of protons, neutrons and electrons. The reason why things are solid is because of the interactions between different atoms and molecules. These forces are usually attractive. For example, there are electrostatic ionic attractions in a slat crystal, such as NaCl. In a metal, the positive metal nuclei are attracted to a sea of delocalised valence (outer) electrons. These metallic bonds are very strong, which is why metals are very hard solids with high melting/boiling points.
What else can I help you with?
What are solids made up of in matter?
Solids are made up of particles (atoms, ions, or molecules) that are packed close together in a fixed arrangement. The particles in solids vibrate about fixed positions, leading to a definite shape and volume.
What is the name of solids that are made up of particles arranged in a repeating geometric pattern?
Crystals are solids made up of particles arranged in a repeating geometric pattern. This regular arrangement gives crystals their characteristic shape and structure.
What kind of solid tends to have the lowest melting points?
Molecular compounds tend to have the lowest melting points.
Activity 2.1.4 Calculating Properties of Solids?
To calculate properties of solids, you typically need the dimensions of the solid (such as length, width, and height), the material it is made of (which determines density and other material properties), and any specific property you are interested in calculating (such as volume, surface area, or density). You may use relevant formulas based on the type of property you are calculating. Make sure to double-check your calculations and units to ensure accuracy.
Are solids made from ionic compounds are usually hard and brittle?
Yes, solids made from ionic compounds are usually hard and brittle because of the strong electrostatic forces between ions in the crystal lattice. When an ionic solid is subjected to stress, the arrangement of ions can easily break, leading to the characteristic brittleness of these materials.
What particles are solids?
Solids can be made up of atoms, molecules, or ions.
What do solids have to do with atoms?
Solids are made of atoms. In fact, so are most things.
What kind of solids often has the highest melting points?
Solids made of atoms

What is the lowest percent of chocolate made?
If your talking about cocoa solids, then white chocolate is the lowest percent chocolate made as it has none. It is made with the cocoa butter but not the solids.
What percentage of solids are man made?
27.4%
What solids are made of lumps in the kitchen?
A bar of soup.
Platonic solids is made from triangles?
No. Platonic solids, as their name suggests, are 3-dimensional objects. A triangle is 2-dimensional.
Are mercury thermometers made out of a solids?
They are made out of glass which is a metastable solid.
Which of the following Platonic solids is made from squares?
hexahedron, cube
Is venus made of solids or gases?
Solids, apart from the atmosphere, of course. It's also possible there is a liquid metal core.
