-Slow particles (don't move as much as other basic states' particles)
-Keep their shape unless they are broken
-Maintain the same volume
-Do not flow
-Denser than liquids or gases

Okay 5, but I was feeling generous

What are examples of physical properties in a solid?

Some examples of physical properties in a solid are density, hardness, malleability, and thermal conductivity. These properties help to characterize and distinguish different types of solids based on their behavior and responses to external stimuli.


Do all solids conduct heat and same rate?

No, not all solids conduct heat at the same rate. Some solids, like metals, are good conductors of heat, while others, like plastics and wood, are poor conductors. The rate of heat conduction depends on the material's properties, such as its density, structure, and composition.


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.


Why solids are good insulators?

Solids are good insulators because their atoms are tightly packed, making it difficult for heat to move through them. Additionally, solids have low thermal conductivity, which means they do not transfer heat easily. The lack of free flowing particles in solids also contributes to their insulating properties.


Can light pass through solids?

Light passes through solids that are transparent to light, though that transparency may be in varying degrees depending on the solid. Clear glass allows light to pass; colored glass allows only wavelengths of that color to pass, and some otherwise opaque solids (like gold) can transmit light if they are reduced to a thin film. Translucent solids transmit light but cause it to be scattered in random directions. Opaque solids do not transmit light, but reflect all but a small portion that is absorbed by the material.

Do all solids dissolve?

No, not all solids dissolve. Solubility depends on the specific properties of the solid and the solvent it is being dissolved in. Some solids, like salt and sugar, readily dissolve in water, while others, like sand and silver, do not dissolve easily.

Why does solid particles doesn't dissolve in water?

Because of the chemical properties of the solids. Some solids have weak chemical bonds which break apart in the presence of water, while others are much stronger and remain connected.
