Unless you change it (e.g.: smash it)
But it will keep the shape it is smashed in. Solids stay in their shape unless something else changes it for them.
Or if it becomes a liquid by melting or a solid through sublimation.
All solids have a fixed shape unless acted upon by a force. If the temperature remains constant they have a fixed volume.
Solids have a definite shape and volume, while liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Liquids can flow and take the shape of the container they are in, unlike solids which have a fixed shape.
Because the particles can't move the object can't move which give it the shape and volume
Solids have a fixed shape and volume, while liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container. Solids have strong intermolecular forces that keep their particles in a fixed position, whereas liquids have weaker forces that allow their particles to move around but remain close together. Solids typically have a higher density than liquids.
Okay... Whoever wrote this was really stupid. One of the main characteristics of liquid is that it takes the shape of the bottom of it's container. So no, a liquid does not keep it's own shape. If it did, then it would be a solid.
No. Solids are resistant to changes in both shape and volume.
Solids keep their shape and volume, meaning they maintain a fixed structure and do not flow like liquids or gases. The particles in solids are closely packed together, giving them a fixed shape that can only be changed by applying external force.
Solids do not flow. The particles in a solid cannot change places so a solid will keep its shape (unless it is broken).
Solids have a definite shape and do not easily take the shape of their container due to the strong intermolecular forces between their particles, which keep them locked in place. This characteristic distinguishes solids from liquids and gases, which can flow and take the shape of their container.
well yes it can but if it isn't a solid you can't cheerio
Solids have definite shape and volume, meaning they maintain their shape and do not flow like liquids or gases. The particles in solids are tightly packed together and have strong intermolecular forces, giving them a fixed structure. Solids are not easily compressed due to the limited space between particles.
The 2 properties of solids include a definite size and shape, and ability to keep their own shape.
Yes, solids have a definite shape
All solids have a fixed shape unless acted upon by a force. If the temperature remains constant they have a fixed volume.
Solids change their shapes in many ways. Solids will melt if they are in hot temperatures, and this changes their shape.
solids cannot be poured , they cannot also change shape unless you bend it , break a bit of it or melt it. liquids can be poured. gases can not be condensed down
Particles of solids are packed tightly together and can't move. They don't change shape unless damaged.
