Solids have a fixed shape and volume due to their tightly packed arrangement of atoms or molecules. When a force is applied to stretch a solid, the intermolecular forces opposing the deformation are too strong to allow the atoms or molecules to move apart easily, preventing the solid from being stretched.

Why can liquid change but solids cannot?
The forces holding the atoms together are weaker in liquids than in solids -Apex
How will you show that gases can be compressed while liquids and solids cannot be compressed?
baybi
What is characteristics of hydrophobic solution?
The meaning of hydrophobic is which rejects water, which cannot be wetted; solids are hydrophobic not liquids.
Will all solids dissolved in water?
No, not at all. In fact most solids are INsoluble. Some solids (such as metals, stones, wood) don't dissolve while other solids like sugar or salt do dissolve. Water is a polar molecule, therefore it can dissolve only polar substances and many ionic compounds. However, it cannot dissolve non-polar substances.
Why the classical theory of solids cannot explain the theory of solids?
The classical theory of solids is based on the assumption that atoms are fixed in a lattice structure and do not move. However, quantum mechanics shows that atoms in solids have wave-like properties and do exhibit movement. This discrepancy between classical theory and quantum mechanics makes classical theory inadequate for explaining the behavior of solids at the atomic level.
Which trem is a pulling force exerted by solids?
Tension is the pulling force exerted by solids when they are stretched or elongated.
Can air stretched?
That would not be the correct term to use; solids stretch, gases expand.
What solids cannot be held?
There Is None
Can gas go through solids?
A gas cannot go through non-porous solids.
What happens to the density of an object when it is stretched?
it becomes thinner. mass can't be created or destroyed, it only encompasses solids , liquids, and gasses.
What word is used when solids cannot be dissolved?
insoluble
Can solids move?
solid particles cannot move.
Which state cannot flow from place to place?
solids
How can a rubber band be modeled as an elastic strain?
Because, like a rubber band, it can be stretched until it can't be stretched anymore. When the rocks cannot be stretched anymore, the fault breaks and slips as earthquakes.
How do you determine a substance which is a solid?
Solids have a strict shape and volume. Solids do not flow and they are usually cannot be easily compressed.
Why can liquid change but solids cannot?
The forces holding the atoms together are weaker in liquids than in solids -Apex
What are the properties of the solids liquids gases?
solids cannot be poured , they cannot also change shape unless you bend it , break a bit of it or melt it. liquids can be poured. gases can not be condensed down
