solids
solids have...
a definite shape and volume
The temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid is its
melting point
Is the physical change of a liquid to a solid by removal of energy as heat
freezing
•is a form of vaporization, it the process by which particles escape from the surface of a non boiling liquid and enter the gas state.
evaporation
most solids are crystalline solids made up of what?
crystals
these are substances that retain certain liquid properties even at temperatures at which they appear to be solid
super cooled liquids
is a substance that can flow and therefore take the shape of its container
fluid
this is a substance in which the particles are arranged in an orderly geometric repeating pattern
crystal
are a structure that consists of positive and negative ions arranged in a regal pattern
ionic crystals
the attraction of the surface of a liquid to the surface of a solid is a property closely related to surface tension
capillary action
this is one in which the particles are arranged randomly.
amorphous solid
are structures that consists of metal cations surrounded by a sea of delocalized valence electrons.
metallic crystal
is a force that tends to pull adjacent parts of a liquids surface tougher, thereby decreasing surface area to the smallest possible size.
surface tension
this is the physical change of a solid to a liquid by the addition of energy as heat.
melting
Most solids are blank solids
crystalline solids
is the process by which a liquid or solid changes to a gas
vaporization
