Answer:
- Compress
- Fixed
- Melts
- Melting Point
- Freezing Point
- High
- Crystalline
- Lattice
- Unit cell
- Amorphous solids
Step-by-step explanation:
Solids tend to be dense and difficult to compress.
They do not flow or take the shape of their containers, like liquids do, because the particles in solids vibrate around fixed points.
When a solid is heated until its particles vibrate so rapidly that they are no longer held in fixed positions, the solid melts.
Melting point is the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid. The melting and freezing point of a substance are at the same temperature.
In general, ionic solids tend to have relatively high melting points, while molecular solids tend to have relatively low melting points.
Most solids are crystalline
The particles are arranged in a pattern known as a crystal lattice
The smallest subunit of a crystal lattice is the unit cell
Some solids lack an ordered internal structure and are called amorphous solids.
