How do solid change their shape?
Solids change their shapes in many ways. Solids will melt if they are in hot temperatures, and this changes their shape.
Do solids have no fixed volume or shape?
Solids have a fixed volume or shape at room temperature or pressure.
What changes shape when placed in a different container?
water and gas
What are Two solids that have the same shape and corresponding dimensions that are proportional?
Those would be called similar solids.
Why do solids have a defenite shape?
Solids have a definite shape because the atoms which make them up are locked firmly in place, and only through external forces (ie, if you cut a part of) or changing the state (melting it) will it become malleable.
Do solids take up the shape of a container?
No. Solids are resistant to changes in both shape and volume.
What does not change shape in different containers?
Solids. (Anything that isn't a liquid or a gas)
What property do only solids have?
The property that only solids have is definite shape and volume. Solids maintain their shape and volume without taking the shape of the container they are in.
What are the properties all solids have in common?
Solids have a definite shape and volume, meaning they maintain a fixed form and occupy a specific amount of space. They also have strong intermolecular forces that hold their particles close together and prevent them from easily flowing or changing position. Additionally, solids tend to be denser and have a higher degree of order in their particle arrangement compared to liquids and gases.
What state of matter changes shape when placed into a container?
A gas changes shape when placed into a container. Gases do not have a fixed shape or volume, and they expand to fill the space available to them. This is in contrast to solids and liquids, which have a fixed shape and volume.
Does a solid retains shape or takes the shape of its container?
Solids retain their shape. It is liquids, gasses, and plasmas that take the shape of their containers.
How do solids change shape?
Solids change their shapes in many ways. Solids will melt if they are in hot temperatures, and this changes their shape.
Which states of matter doesn't take the shapes of their containers?
Solids do not take the shape of the container
What changes shape and volume when you change containers?
Gases do that.
Which states take the shape of their own?
Liquids and gasses assume the shape of their containers. Solids do not. There are also other states of matter.
What is the state at which matter changes in both shape and volume?
The state is gas. Gasses can expand and be put in containers of different shapes.
What property easily changes in liquids but not in solids?
shape
