liquid to solid state

A solid has a definite characteristic shape tends to resist deformation of its shape is relatively non compressible For example, diamond Solids can be classified as: Crystalline Amorphous In a crystalline substance the solid is characterised by a very ..

The Liquid State - The liquid state lies between the gaseous and the solid state. Liquids are neither completely disordered nor completely ordered. The cohesive forces between the liquid particles are strong enough to k..

A liquid possesses a definite volume but not definite shape. The substances in liquids have particles, which are loosely packed and bound to each other by forces weaker than those of solids. This makes a liquid mobile and shapeless resulting in its taking up..

Solid-Liquid Equilibrium - When a solid is heated it starts melting at a certain fixed temperature (melting point). At this stage even when the heating is continued, the temperature does not change until the whole of solid is converted into liquid. The s..

In solids, atoms or molecules are closely packed and the intermolecular space or void is minimum. The average distance between particles is of the order 10 -8 cm; consequently, solids are almost incompressible. In addition, the intermolecular attraction in solids is qu..

In liquid, the inter-molecular space is larger than that in solids. Therefore, the inter-molecular force of attraction is weaker. Molecules in liquids have vibratory motion as well as strong translatory motion. Thus the molecules of a liquid can move freely ..

Liquids do not have a definite shape. They take the shape of the container. Thus, we can specify a liquid by its volume. Hence, we can speak of volume expansion only for liquids. Expansion of liquids is much greater than that of solids. A liq..

Depending on the conditions for freezing of water, the solid form of water i.e., ice, can exist in different crystalline forms. In 'normal' hexagonal ice, four other oxygen atoms tetrahedrally surround each oxygen atom. One hydrogen atom lies in between each pair of oxygen atoms. Thus, e..

Solubility of Solids in Liquids - The extent to which a solute is soluble in a solvent is expressed in terms of solubility. Solubility of a substance may be defined as the amount of solute dissolved in 100gms of a solvent to form a saturated solution at a given temperature. Solu..
