A solid is a Phase of Matter characterized by resistance to Deformation and to changes of Volume . At the microscopic scale, a solid has these properties:
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). See also |
