All solids have a fixed shape unless acted upon by a force. If the temperature remains constant they have a fixed volume.
1. Amorphous 2. Crystalline
shape and volume
The chalcogens are oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium. They don't have much in common as far as physical properties are concerned... for example, oxygen is a gas at room temperature, and the others are all solids.
Fixed volume and fixed shape
The very definition of a solid is a substance that has a fixed volume and shape, all solids fall into this category. Sand particles may be able to flow, but each granule itself is solid and won't be able to flow unless it becomes a liquid.
Solid - Particles vibrate and rotate about a fixed position and do not diffuse measurably Liquid - Particles move freely in all directions slowly and diffuse slowly Gas - Particles move freely in all directions rapidly and diffuse rapidly
1-they are good conductors of heat & electricity 2 they have luster 3-they are ductile 4-all of them in the form of solids
The common properties of solids is that they have definite shape and a definite volume. They do not take the shape of the containers like the liquids.
they are natural, inorganic, and crystalline solids
All solids do no have same properties. They possess different properties.
Mass and volume
brick is called the solid because it has all the properties of solids that are 1 it has fixed shape and fixed volume 2 it cannot be compressed as its particles are closely packed 3 it cannot flow 4 it has high density 5 the container is not needed to store them
The short answer is by their properties. If you mean solids, liquids and gases then you look at whether they have fixed shapes and fixed volumes or not. If you mean different substances, then you look at properties such as melting point, appearance and chemical reactions.
All materials have thermal properties.
All solids have their state in common. They can either be melted into a liquid or evaporated into a gas state.
The chalcogens are oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium. They don't have much in common as far as physical properties are concerned... for example, oxygen is a gas at room temperature, and the others are all solids.
Fixed volume and fixed shape
They are all convex, they are all polyhedra and they are all regular.
They are all solids. They have properties of metals and non metals.
