Question 7 • Physics

Which are properties of solids? Choose two correct answers.

Answer
A
is made up of free-moving ions and electrons
B
will expand to completely fill a closed container
C
can change shape to conform to a container
D
has a rigid shape that does not change easily
E
is compressed more easily than other states
F
has particles that can wiggle but cannot move
G
has particles that have some freedom to move

Explanation

A solid keeps a rigid shape that does not change easily, so D is correct. Its particles vibrate, or wiggle, around fixed positions but do not move freely from place to place, so F is also correct. Solids do not flow to take a container’s shape or expand to fill it.
