types of solids
This solid is made up of cations and anions, has a high melting point, and usually very brittle, such as Table salt.
What is Ionic Solid?
This state of matter has a definite shape and a definite volume.
What is solid?
The process of transition from solid to liquid.
What is melting?
Everything around us is made of these tiny particles.
What are atoms?
This element is the basis of all known life and is found in diamond and graphite.
What is Carbon?
In this type of solid, atoms share electrons to create bonds, this solid is also known to have low melting points
What is Covalent/Molecular solid?
This state of matter has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container.
What is liquid?
This phase change occurs when water loses energy and changes from a liquid into a solid.
What is freezing?
These three subatomic particles are found in atoms, two of which make up the nucleus and the third surround them.
What are protons, neutrons, and electrons?
Diamond is an example of this type of solid, where atoms are connected in a continuous three-dimensional structure.
What is a Covalent Network Solid?
This type of solid contains freely moving valence electrons, making it an excellent conductor of heat and electricity.
What is Metallic?
Particles in this state of matter move very quickly, are far apart, and take the shape of their container.
What is gas?
This phase change occurs when liquid water gains enough kinetic energy to become a gas.
What is vaporization?
These two kinds of atoms are found in Ionic Bonds, having opposite charges.
What are cations and anions?
This type of bond involves atoms sharing electrons.
What is a Covalent Bond?
These solids are often made of nonmetals or metalloids and are known for being extremely strong due to their three-dimensional atomic arrangement.
What is Covalent Network?
This state of matter occurs when a solid is dissolved in a liquid, things such as salt water.
What is aqueous?
A solid instantly turning into a gas when at normal conditions, such as dry ice, is an example of this phase change.
What is sublimation?
This region of an atom contains protons and neutrons and makes up most of the atom's mass.
What is the nucleus?
These attractive forces hold atoms together in sorts of compounds.
What are Coulombic Forces?
This type of metallic solid is formed by mixing a metal with other elements, such as mixing copper and zinc to create brass.
What is an alloy?
This substance is famous for acting like both a solid and a liquid.
Water droplets forming on a cold bottle are an example of this phase change.
What is condesation?
In atoms these electrons are found on the inner energy levels.
What are core electrons?
This property measures the amount of matter contained within a given volume.
What is Concentration?
