every molecule in solid substance have high intermolecular forces. becoz of this, they have very compact arrangements that's why they have definite shape compare to liquid and gases.

What is the difference between a characteristic property and non-characteristic property?

PHYSICAL (smell, color, texture, size, etc)--NON CHARACTERISTIC GENERAL (general stuff about the substance all together)-CHARACTERISTIC Characteristic properties help us identify pure substances or the group it belongs to. Non-characteristic properties cannot help us identify pure substances or the group it belongs to.

Adam is trying to identify a solid. He places a small amount of the substance in an acid solution and observes whether or not a reaction takes place. This test is based on a property.?

Adam's test is based on the reactivity of the solid with acids, which is a characteristic property of certain materials. If the solid reacts with the acid, it may indicate that the substance is a metal or a carbonate, which typically produce gas or other byproducts when in contact with acids. Conversely, if no reaction occurs, the solid might be inert or a non-reactive compound. This method helps in categorizing the solid based on its chemical behavior.
