Why do solids maintain their shape, whereas fluids do not?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Wittaler [7]3 years ago

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In solids, the molecules are held more tightly due to the existence of strong intermolecular forces of attraction between its particles.

Hence, they have a definite shape and volume. So, these molecules are arranged in a regular pattern and they are able to vibrate at their position.  

On the other hand in liquids, molecules are slightly away from each other as they are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction. Hence, liquids do not have a definite shape but they tend to occupy the shape of container in which they are placed.

Thus, we can conclude that solids maintain their shape, whereas fluids do not because the molecules in solids maintain a regular pattern and only vibrate, or move very slowly.

What type of particle has no mass or charge? <br> A) Alpha <br> B) Beta <br> C) Gamma <br> D) Proton
viva [34]

Answer:

Your answer would be C.

Explanation:

Gamma radiation, unlike alpha or beta, does not consist of any particles, instead consisting of a photon of energy being emitted from an unstable nucleus. Having no mass or charge, gamma radiation can travel much farther through air than alpha or beta, losing (on average) half its energy for every 500 feet.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

I would write "terrestrial/lives on land during all life stages" between the frog and pigeon branches

Explanation:

Jaw evolution has started with fish, so i'd place that before the perch, evolution of four limbs is next and I would plate it between the perch and the frog. Evolution of an egg has ensured that organisms remain terrestrial during all stages of life and don't need to rely on water to lay their eggs. So I would place that between the frog and the pigeon. True mammary glands and true hair, as we know it formed on mammals so i'd place that between the pigeon and the rats (although synapsids evolved similar structures long before birds even existed). And lastly, I would place "walking on two legs" between rats and human branches. Because our ancestors evolved bipedalism relatively late.

Fill in the blank:
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Weathering, Erosion

Explanation:

Plants and animals can be agents of mechanical weathering. The seed of a tree may sprout in soil that has collected in a cracked rock. As the roots grow, they widen the cracks, eventually breaking the rock into pieces. Over time, trees can break apart even large rocks.

Tree root systems have a handful of large roots that branch out into a network of smaller roots that often extend out far beyond their branches do. These root systems prevent erosion by holding the soil in place and improving drainage which helps water get absorbed into the soil instead of just running over the top.

Hope this helps

All the love, Ya boi Fraser :)

Ripening is a _______________ and spoiling is a ______________.
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The answer to this question is A. Both ripening and spoiling are chemical reactions.

Spoiling is a chemical reaction because spoiled food has bad smell and taste and it changes colour too.

Ripening of fruits is a chemical change. For example the colour could change as well as the texture.
