At very high pressure, solids can undergo phase transitions to form new crystal structures or even change into different phases of matter, such as becoming amorphous or liquid-like. The atoms or molecules in the solid are compressed together more closely, leading to changes in their arrangement and properties.

Does density change with very high pressure?

Yes, density can change with very high pressure. When pressure is applied to a material, its particles are compressed closer together, resulting in an increase in density. This effect is particularly significant in gases, which are more compressible than liquids and solids. However, in solids and liquids, the change in density is generally less pronounced, as they are already closely packed.


Why do solids do not stay the same shape?

Because the solid molecules are joined with very high inter molecular force in case of liquid this force is not very high.No. It is because the molecules in solids maintain a regular pattern and only vibrate, or move very slowly


What is the effect of pressure in solids?

For most solids, increasing the pressure will also increase the melting temperature. A notable exception is ice. Although solids are not very compressible, extreme pressure will still compress solids to a measurable degree. Some solids will also undergo phase changes when subjected to increasing pressure - from one solid structure to another. As previously noted, ice may actually melt if pressure is applied near the melting point temperature of the ice (a solid to liquid phase change vice a solid/solid phase change). A good example that most people are familiar with is the formation of diamonds. The tetrahedral crystaline structure of diamonds is actually not thermodynamically stable at atmospheric conditions, but from a kinetic standpoint the conversion back to graphite or other stable solid structure is so slow that it might as well be stable. To get it to convert to the diamond structure requires very high pressure.


Would a se-leave pressure of 1040 mb be considered high or low pressure?

Yes, 1040mb is a very high surface pressure.


Can amorphous solids convert into crystals and crystals convert into amorphous solids?

Yes, but it usually requires changes in temperature and/or pressure, although there are cases where one structure is energetically preferred where it can happen spontaneously. Some examples are:amorphous carbon under very high temperature and pressure becomes diamondthe black amorphous solid form of sulfur spontaneously converts to the yellow crystalline solid form slowly over time, as the crystal is more stableetc.

Why does your body have more liquids then solids?

Cause your body contains a very high temperature causing the solids to dissolve into liquids


Can you compression a liquid why or why not?

Yes, you can compress gases, liquids, and solids. However, liquids and solids are MUCH less compressible than gases, and for many practical purposes you can consider them "incompressible". This means that a high pressure will only cause a very small change in volume.


Is it possible to have a very high systolic pressure and a very low diastolic pressure?

No.


High pressure gases?

when the collision between the gas molecules and the container in which the gas exist is very high.....then the pressure of the gas is very high

What is the vapor pressure of KCl?

The vapor pressure of KCl depends on temperature. At room temperature (around 25°C), the vapor pressure of KCl is very low, close to negligible. As the temperature increases, the vapor pressure of KCl also increases, following the general trend for solids.


Why solids do not flow as liquids and gases do?

Because their intermolecular forces are very high relative to liquid and gas
