A solid is a collection of tightly packed molecules that are bound together and cannot freely move around. When energy is added (heat for example) the bonds begin to break down allowing the molecules or atoms (depending on whether it's an element or compound) to move more freely, this causes the matter to change state from solid to liquid.
Take water for example, the water molecules are tightly packed when water is cooled to form ice, as it heats the bonds break down forming water. If you heat further you get steam, the molecular bonds breaking down further.
Some things even skip the liquid stage; carbon dioxide as a solid, also known as dry ice goes straight from a solid to a gas at room temperature, this is called sublimation.

When temperature increases solids change to a?
gas or a liquid
Why can liquid change but solids cannot?
The forces holding the atoms together are weaker in liquids than in solids -Apex
What Solids liquid and gases all have different?

What piece of equipment would you use to observe whether or not different solids float in a given liquid?
To observe whether different solids float in a given liquid, you would use a clear container filled with the liquid, such as a graduated cylinder or a beaker. This allows you to see the solids' buoyancy and whether they sink or float. Additionally, a set of various solids to test, such as small weights or pieces of wood, should be used for comparison. It's important to ensure the liquids and solids are safe for the experiment.
When solids melt does volume change?
Yes, when solids melt and transition into a liquid state, the volume typically increases. This is because the molecules in the solid are more densely packed compared to when they are in a liquid state, where they have more freedom of movement.
What does not change shape in different containers?
Solids. (Anything that isn't a liquid or a gas)
What is the change of solids to liquid?
freezing
When temperature increases solids change to a?
gas or a liquid
What way are liquid different from solid?
Solids are rigid.
What is it called when solids change to liquids?
The change of state from a solid to a liquid is called melting.
How solids are different from gas and liquid?
Liquids have the form of the containers.
Do all solids dissolve in different liquids?
No, not all solids dissolve in all liquids. The ability of a solid to dissolve in a liquid depends on various factors such as the nature of the solid and the liquid, as well as their molecular structures. Some solids may dissolve in one liquid but not in another.
Why can liquid change but solids cannot?
The forces holding the atoms together are weaker in liquids than in solids -Apex
What do you have to do to a liquid to change into a solid?
Usually you freeze liquids so that they harden into solids.
When liquids change states to become solids?
a solid turns into a liquid or the liquid stage when it reaches its melting point.
What happens when solids and liquids are heated or cooled?
A solid can change Into a liquid when it is heated Example- when heated solid chocolate, the chocolate changes into a liquid. A liquid Can change into a solid when it is cooled Example - If you leave juice in the freezer , the liquid changes into a solid.
Why the solid changing to liquid?
A solid will turn into a liquid if the temperature get hot enough. There are different temperatures for different solids, so you might have to check.
