What happens to frozen water that is different from most frozen liquids?
Frozen water (ice) is less dense than liquid water, which is why it floats. When water freezes, its molecules form a crystalline structure that causes it to expand, unlike most liquids that contract when they freeze. This expansion is why ice floats on water.
What happens to the volume of solids liquids and gasses as they warm and cool?
As solids are warmed, they expand and their volume increases. Conversely, as solids cool, they contract and their volume decreases. For liquids, warming causes expansion and an increase in volume, while cooling results in contraction and a decrease in volume. Gases behave differently as they expand when warmed and contract when cooled, with volume being directly proportional to temperature.
Do all solids expand and contract by the same amount?
No, all solids do not expand and contract by the same amount. The amount of expansion or contraction depends on the material's coefficient of thermal expansion, which varies from one material to another. Different solids have different responses to changes in temperature.
Do gases and solids contract when cooled?
Yes, both gases and solids contract when cooled due to a decrease in temperature causing the particles to move more slowly and come closer together. In solids, cooling causes the particles to vibrate less and pack more tightly. In gases, cooling reduces the kinetic energy of the particles, leading to less forceful collisions and a decrease in volume.
What effects does cooling have on solids?
Cooling solids can cause them to contract and become more dense. This can lead to changes in physical properties such as hardness, brittleness, and thermal conductivity. In certain cases, cooling can also induce phase transitions, resulting in a change in the solid's crystal structure.
Can solids be frozen?
for A+ true
Are frozen liquids solids?
yes
Are all solids frozen liquids?
Yes
Do all solids contract then cooled?
No
Why do wires tighten up at night?
At night, there is no sun, thus there is no heat. When there is no heat, solids contract. The wires, being solids contract at night and in the morning, when there is heat, they sag.
Can fire be frozen?
No, because fire is buring gases. If the gases were frozen (therefore solids), it wouldn't make fire.
Are all solids frozen?
Technically yes. The melting point and freezing point of every liquid (for the particular element) is the same; it is the point when the element is shifting from or to state of equilibrium, depending on the direction of energy movement.
Do liquids contract slower than solids when cooled?
yes they do
Why do wires look different during the day and at night?
At night, there is no sun, thus there is no heat. When there is no heat, solids contract. The wires, being solids contract at night and in the morning, when there is heat, they sag.
Do crystalline solids have particles in a repeating pattern of rows?
because it is a particle that is frozen in
What happens to the volume of solids liquids and gases when they are cool?
they all contract.
What is up with Solids?
Solids have a definite volume and shape. They cannot be compressed as the molecules in a solid are very closely packed due to strong intermolecular forces that bond the molecules together. They expand when heated and contract when cooled. When heated, the molecules vibrate more and more vigorously in their places as the temperature increases.
