Today we’re going to learn five Super facts about solids. Fact number one solids have a definite shape the particles in a solid are in a fixed Place meaning they cannot move around for this reason solids have a definite shape that cannot change unless forces applied to the object. For example, a table will always be the same shape and size because it is a solid object. It will only alter its shape if it is broken up root force will be form the shape of a solid the molecules in solids are linked to one another.
Fact number two. The metal osmium is the densest solid found in nature osmium is the densest of all the elements OS is the symbol for osmium. It is twice as dense as lead osmium has only a few uses. It is used to produce fountain pen tips instrument pivot screws and used to be used for gramophone needles osmium comes from the Greek word osme, which means smell it gets its name for the strong smell that powdered osmium gives off. It is also used as a catalyst in the chemical industry.
Fact number three a solid can become a liquid the three states of matter can change into each other through different processes a solid can become a liquid through melting when heat is applied to a solid it sometimes melts into liquid form when a liquid is frozen. It turns into a solid think of water when the liquid water is frozen. It turns into a solid ice. Certain solids can also be dissolved into a liquid for example, salt and dissolve into a cup of water. Fact number four solid is a fundamental state of matter solids have many uses in our everyday lives and hugely benefit.
Our Lives solids are very versatile. They can come in metal plastic Fabric or wood you interact with solids every second of your life, whether you’re sitting down on your wooden chair or driving to work in your car. You are interacting with solids fabric is used in our clothing and gives us warmth. Some metals have shape memory, which means they can remember their shape when called these metals can deform but when brought to a certain temperature, they will return to their original shape. Fact number five there are two main types of solid the two main types of solid are ordered solids and disordered solids ordered solids have molecules and particles that are arranged in a highly ordered manner.
They are also called crystalline solids these types of solids have a sharp melting point examples of crystalline solids are table salts diamonds copper and gold disordered solids have a lack of long range order and are known as amorphous solids these types of solids don’t have a sharp melting point examples of amorphous solids are cotton window glass rubber and plastic. Hope you enjoyed my five Super facts about solids. See you soon.
