Solids are a state of matter. They are different from liquids and gases in that they hold their shape. They define a fixed volume, and resist something that would change that. Many things can be solid, but they will hold their shapes. The shape-holding characteristic is what distinguishes a solid from a liquid, whose fixed volume takes the shape of its container and a gas, which is finely divided and freely moving atoms or molecules that will hold no specific shape or volume.
What else can I help you with?
What are things that are true about particles in a solid?
Atoms are in a solid but as in particles it depends on the object.
Are solid particles packed close toghether?
I think that what you mean to ask is, are the particles in a solid packed close together, which they are, particularly in comparison to a gas, in which the particles are rather distant from each other. However, you can pack solid particles in various ways, closely or distantly. The solidity of the particle does not dictate the type of packing.
What is it called when the particles are tightly packed together?
its not a substance its a state of matter which is the solid the solid's particles are packed tightly together glad 2 help !! :)
How does heat conduction work?
When energy is transfered to something which conducts heat, the particles in the solid object start to vibrate. As more energy is transfered to the particles, it spreads across the solid objects particles. The hotter the solid, the more it's particles vibrate.
Which state has state particles that are the closest together?
This is the solid state of matter.
How do particles behave in solid?
In a solid, particles are closely packed together and vibrate in fixed positions. They have a fixed shape and volume, and only have slight movements. The particles do not have enough energy to move around freely like in liquids or gases.
How do the particles of solid behave?
They are still be cause there isn't any activity going on inside the solid
How do particles of solid behave?
They are still be cause there isn't any activity going on inside the solid
How does oobleck behave like a solid?
Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid that can behave like a solid when pressure is applied to it. The cornstarch particles in oobleck become more closely packed together, creating a temporary solid structure. Once the pressure is removed, it returns to behaving like a liquid.
How do particles behave in a solid?
In a solid, particles are closely packed together in a fixed position. They vibrate in place but do not have enough energy to move freely past each other. This results in a solid retaining its shape and volume.
How do melting particles behave?
The particles are moving rapidly
Is jam a liquid or a solid?
no jam is a solid because it is a solid Jam is often considered to be a 'suspension' - a state in which particles of a substance and mixed with a fluid but undissolved. Also, the word 'gel' applies in which particles of fruit are dispersed in a liquid medium which has become viscous enough to behave more or less like a solid
Is toothpowder a solid or liquid?
Does it look and behave like water? If not, it is a solid.
How are particles of a liquid different from the particles of a solid?
The particles of a solid are close together and the particles of a liquid are slightly farther apart.
What explains how the particles in gases behave?
Kinetic Theory.
Do gas particles move slower than solid particles?
No. Gas particles move much faster than solid particles.
How do particles of a solid move?
If the object is completely solid the particles don't move
