What is the solid that forms when a solution starts to freeze?
Question:
What is the solid that forms when a solution starts to freeze?
Solids:
Solids have a fixed shape and fixed volume and are not compressed easily as they have little space between their particles. There are two types of solids: crystalline solids and amorphous solids.
