What are the properties of solid?

Question

it is for my written report in physics for forth year high school students...

Answer 1

Properties of common solid materials are divided into following categories:
• Physical properties: Density, melting and boiling temperature.
• Mechanical Properties: Including basic mechanical properties, such as elastic modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio, and mechanical strength properties, i.e., yielding stress, ultimate stress, elongation.
• Thermal Properties: Coefficient of thermal expansion, thermal conductivity.
• Electric Properties: Electric resistivity.
• Acoustic Properties: Compression wave velocity, shear wave velocity, bar velocity.

simplify above ^ ^ to suit grade
best omit accoustic part, cause it's advanced

Answer 2

A solid object is in the phase of matter characterized by resistance to deformation and changes of volume.

At the microscopic scale, a solid has these properties:

The atoms or molecules that comprise the solid are packed close together.
These constituent elements have fixed positions in space relative to each other. This accounts for the solid's rigidity.
If sufficient force is applied, either of these properties can be violated, causing permanent deformation.
Because any solid has some thermal energy, its atoms vibrate. However, this movement is very small and very rapid, and cannot be observed under ordinary conditions.
The branch of physics that deals with solids is called solid-state physics, and is a type of condensed matter physics. Materials science is primarily concerned with properties of solids such as strength and phase transformations. It overlaps strongly with solid state physics. Solid-state chemistry overlaps both of these fields, but is especially concerned with the synthesis of novel materials.

The lightest known solid is man-made and is called aerogel. The lightest aerogel produced has a density of 1.9 mg per cm3 or 1.9 kg/m3 (526.3 times lighter than water).

Answer 4

for instance how ambiguous and poorly conceived this question is: spin, mass, and would charge. those are the three actual properties of all sub atomic debris from which each thing interior the universe is made up of or that make up all the forces interior the universe. i'm guessing, yet i assume that is not what the author of this question grow to be finding for. Tsk.

Answer 5

Refuses to take on the shape of a container it is placed in.

Answer 6

All the propeties that are not in liquid are in solid and vicea versa

Answer 7

Has a shape,
can be held or touched,
