they change their state by absorbing heat known as latent heat. There is no temperature change in a substance she they change their state because the heat is used to break the intermolecular bonds between the molecule.

Why can liquid change but solids cannot?

The forces holding the atoms together are weaker in liquids than in solids -Apex


What does this state of matter doesn't flow mean?

When we say that a state of matter "doesn't flow," we are typically referring to solids. Unlike liquids and gases, which can change shape and move freely, solids have a fixed shape and volume due to the strong intermolecular forces that hold their particles in place. As a result, solids maintain their structure and do not flow like liquids or gases, which can easily take the shape of their container.


Do solids and liquids change in size when taking the shape of its container?

Solids do not change in size when taking the shape of their container because their particles are tightly packed and cannot easily move. Liquids, on the other hand, do not change in size but can take the shape of its container because their particles can move past each other.


How can solids become liquids and liquids to solids?

Solids become liquids when the temperature reaches melting point, groups of particles start to brake away from each other. This is when the solid starts becoming a liquid. Liquids become solids on cooling, the particles move slower and become a solid.


How can you tell solids and liquids apart?

Liquids are malleable, meaning you can shape them, or they can change to fit the shape of the container they are being held in. Solids are basically classified as anything that can not(dramatically) change form or conform to another shape.

What Name a property of liquids that they do not share with solids?

One property of liquids that they do not share with solids is the ability to flow and take the shape of their container. Liquids have the ability to move past one another, while solids maintain their fixed shape and volume.


What state of matter can be made at low temperatures?

This depends on each material: at low temperatures liquids become solids and gases also liquids and after this solids.


Do solids liquids and gases have a definite volume?

Solids have a set volume. Liquids have a set volume. Gases do not have a set volume. Why? Solids are solids. They don't move. They're in a 'frozen state' as is. Liquids 'mold' to the shape of their container and they stay there. Gases are free to go anywhere. Always moving and 'flying.'
