Insoluble solid materials are materials in solvents that are carried in them in suspension rather than solution. Suspended materials can come out of suspension, can precipitate, under certain conditons. The best example on a large scale may be a river. It carries stuff in it in suspension, and some have so much insoluble solid material in them they look brown. But near the mouth of the river, the insoluble material, this silt, can precipitate out and form a delta. The actual insoluble material can vary over an extremely wide range of "stuff" depending on what solvent and where we're looking at it. In the lab, we'd have a good chance of knowing what the insoluble solid material was by looking at our experiment. In the lab, we have to deal with both a suspension and a colloid. Both have a fluid solvent that "holds" the finely divided materials, but in a suspension, the material can precipitate out. In a colloid, like milk, the particles in it won't precipitate. Chemistry and geology (hydrology, a sub-specialty), address the nature of insoluble solid materials in the course of study.
Most elements in the Periodic Table exist in a solid state at room temperature and pressure. Examples of solid elements include carbon (C), silicon (Si), iron (Fe), and copper (Cu). Some elements can also exist in other states, such as liquid or gas, depending on the specific conditions.
There are four states of matter that are seen by scientists as fundamental which are solid, liquid, gas and plasma. A solid element has the characteristics of being resistant to any kind of change to its volume and shape and has a rigid structure. Amongst the many kinds of solid elements there are metals, minerals, ceramics.
Most elements are solids at room temperature on the Periodic Table. Examples are Na, C, Li, K, Ca, Au, Ag, Pt. However, there are two liquids; Br and Hg. And there are gases; O, N, F, He, Ne, Ar, Xe (the last four - in Group 8- are noble gases).
The elements with three dimensional finite solid structure are called solid elements. The model of elements with this type of finite structure has an advantage of directness.
Virtually all except, H, He, N, O, F, Ne, Cl, Ar, Br, Kr, Xe, Hg, Rn
Most elements are solid, some are gas, and only two are liquid.
