Salt and sugar do not appear to have a fixed shape. Why do we call them solids?
Answer (2)
they do have a fixed shaed because they are crystals. theye are very very tiny, but salt is crystals in the shape of cubes, and sugar has completely irregular crystals. salt can be mined for example - rocks of pure salt are solid, no? :)
Salt and sugar are classified as solids because they maintain a definite volume and shape, even if their crystal forms differ. Salt has a regular cubic crystalline structure, while sugar has more irregular crystals. Both types of solids consist of particles that are fixed in place, which is a key characteristic of solid materials.
