Answer:
When pressing a solid material it can take a different shape or change in size, however when bending a solid material this does not happen.
Explanation:
Solid state materials at a certain temperature are characterized by:
- present a high cohesion between the molecules that form it (the particles are united by very high attractive forces that make them remain almost fixed)
- have a constant shape and volume often forming characteristic geometric structures such as crystalline structures
- they are incompressible
- are resistant to fragmentation
- they do not have fluidity because the particles can only vibrate around fixed positions
A flexible material cannot be molded and only accepts shape changes when bending.
You do not get new materials when pressing a solid material.
