To dry bell peppers in an oven, preheat the oven to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread the sliced peppers in a single layer on a baking tray and put the trays in the oven.To ensure the heat is maintained between 145 and 150 degrees, place an oven thermometer on the tray.
168 Unit 2: The Structure of Matter. Solids have a definite volume and shape. A piece of ice,a block of wood,and a ceramic cup are solids.They. have shapes that do not change and volumes that can be measured. Any matter that is a solid has a definite shape and a definite volume. The molecules in a solid are in fixed positions and are close together.Although the molecules can still vibrate,they cannot move from one part of the solid to another part.As a result,a solid does not easily change its shape or its volume.If you force the molecules apart, you can change the shape and the volume of a solid by breaking it
Solids are matter having fixed shape, fixed volume and are almost impossible to compress. Of course, solids can be crushed into powder form (in which case the fixed shape is destroyed), but in essence the powder still remains a solid.iquids are matter having a fixed volume but no fixed shape â they take the shape of the container. Liquids are very difficult to compress. Liquids are composed of higher energy particles which overcome their mutual forces of attraction and move independently. This is the reason why liquids do not have a fixed shape.
