well yes it can but if it isn't a solid you can't cheerio
The 2 properties of solids include a definite size and shape, and ability to keep their own shape.
solids
Yes, solids have their own volume and shape. The particles in solids are closely packed together, giving them a fixed shape and volume. Examples of solids include wood, metal, and glass.
Solids keep their shape and volume, meaning they maintain a fixed structure and do not flow like liquids or gases. The particles in solids are closely packed together, giving them a fixed shape that can only be changed by applying external force.
Yes. Solids have shapes and volume. Liquids take they're own shape and gas spreads.
Unless you change it (e.g.: smash it) But it will keep the shape it is smashed in. Solids stay in their shape unless something else changes it for them. Or if it becomes a liquid by melting or a solid through sublimation.
Solids have a definite shape and do not easily take the shape of their container due to the strong intermolecular forces between their particles, which keep them locked in place. This characteristic distinguishes solids from liquids and gases, which can flow and take the shape of their container.
Okay... Whoever wrote this was really stupid. One of the main characteristics of liquid is that it takes the shape of the bottom of it's container. So no, a liquid does not keep it's own shape. If it did, then it would be a solid.
Solids have definite shape and volume, meaning they maintain their shape and do not flow like liquids or gases. The particles in solids are tightly packed together and have strong intermolecular forces, giving them a fixed structure. Solids are not easily compressed due to the limited space between particles.
Liquids and gasses assume the shape of their containers. Solids do not. There are also other states of matter.
Yes, solids have a definite shape
Solids are the type of matter with contain their own shape. Liquids take the shape of the container they are in and gasses fill their container, so therefore, solids are the type of matter which have a shape of their own.
