What are properties of a solid?

Answer 1

1. Its volume does not change.

2.Its shape does not change and would not take the shape of another container.

3.It has its own mass

4.It doesn't occupy much space- only its own mass.

5.It does not flow.

6. It can not be compressed.

Answer 2

The term solid in physics denotes a state of matter having a fixed volume and a definite shape, which is not generally compressible.

Solids display the following properties :

- The particles are densely packed

- There are very strong forces between the particles

- The particles can move only slightly in their structure

(Compression may alter the molecular structure of the material.)

Other Definitions of Solid

• characterized by good substantial quality; "solid comfort"; "a solid base hit"
• entirely of one substance with no holes inside; "a solid block of wood"
• of one substance or character throughout; "solid gold"; "carved out of solid rock"
• uninterrupted in space; having no gaps or breaks; "a solid line across the page"; "solid sheets of water"
• hearty: providing abundant nourishment; "a hearty meal"; "good solid food"; "ate a substantial breakfast"; "four square meals a day"
• of good quality and condition; solidly built; "a solid foundation"; "several substantial timber buildings"
• firm: not soft or yielding to pressure; "a firm mattress"; "the snow was firm underfoot"; "solid ground"
• having three dimensions; "a solid object"
• incapable of being seen through; "solid blackness"
• financially sound; "the bank is solid and will survive this attack"
• of a substantial character and not frivolous or superficial; " work of solid scholarship"; "based on solid facts"
• of the same color throughout; "solid color"
• worthy: morally admirable; "a worthy citizen"
• the state in which a substance has no tendency to flow under moderate stress; resists forces (such as compression) that tend to deform it; and retains a definite size and shape
• a three-dimensional shape
• acting together as a single undiversified whole; "a solid voting bloc"

Answer 3

1: Solids have a defined shape (they do not flow)

2: Solids are incompressible

3: Solids expand when heated and contract when cooled

Answer 4

A solid has multiple properties. One is.......... often it doesn't change shape. Also, it has a definite form.

Answer 5

1: Solids have a defined shape

2: Solids are incompressible

3: Solids expand when heated and contract when cooled

Answer 6

A solid has a definite volume, a definite shape, and does not flow.

Answer 7

It doesnt take the shape of a container if it is placed in one,its particles cannot move they only vibrate

Answer 8

Solids have a definite shape, definite volume, and their atoms are tightly bound to one another, so they don't flow.
