If you introduce the rod with the round strips into the flame of a candle, the paper will not catch fire. The fire will lick the paper but not burn down until the iron rod becomes hot. This is because iron rod just like any other metal is a good conductor of heat, it leads away the heat obtained by paper from the candle flames. Replace the iron rod by a wooden stick and paper will burn because wood is a poor conductor of heat. With copper rod the experiment is more successful.

Explain that ice is harder than liquid water?

what atoms are tightly packed at room temperature?

How tightly are the particles held together in solids?
Yes, they are packed closely together
Why are karyotypes prepared using cells in mitosis rather than cells in interphase explain.?
in mitosis (specifically Prophase) the chromosomes are dense and therefore visible for a karyotype. during interphase they do not have to be ready to be pulled apart so they are not wound tightly.
What state of matter are held tightly in place by other particles?
The state of matter that is held tightly in place is in the form of a solid. Gas particles are not tightly packed, unless they are being pressurized, same with water.
What is the proper way to use a wrench?
Fitted tightly to a bolt and rotating clockwise to tighten.
After wrapping a thin paper strip tightly around an iron rod then holding over a candle while rotating the iron rod continuously does the paper burn?
Iron rod is the good conductor of heat first of all it receives heat and after sometime paper gets heated and catches fire
How does the theory explain why solids keep their shapes?
Its because the particles are tightly compacted.
Explain how solids are terms in particles?
In a solid, the particles are tightly packed and do not move around much, as opposed to a liquid or gas, in which the particles are more spread out.
Explain why a sound waves can travels faster in a solid than in a gas?
I believe it has something to do with the particles of a solid being closer and more tightly compacted.
When 50g of sugar is dissolved in 100 ml of water there is no increase involume what characteristicof matter is illustrated by this observation?
There is no increase in volume because liquids molecules are not tightly packed they have spaces between them and sugar settle in the spaces
What is the comparative and superlative form of tightly?
more tightly, most tightly
Explain that ice is harder than liquid water?
Ice is harder than liquid water because the molecules of ice are linked more tightly together.
Explain why a metal door should not be built to fit tightly to the frame of a doorespecially in a region where the weather gets hot?
