Question

How does a stationary brick resemble the atoms in a solid?

Answer 1

A.
The brick does not move just like the atoms within a solid do not move.
B.
The shape of the brick looks like the shape of the atoms in a solid.
C.
The atoms are tightly packed together and seem as stationary as the brick.
D.
The components of the brick are the same as those of the atoms.

Answer 2

wrong section this is physics you should be posting this question in the chemistry section

Answer 3

None of these are correct. Atoms are spherical, not brick-shaped. They are sometimes closed-packed, as in a metal and some ionic solids, but in many solids (ice, diamond, graphite, sulfur, some ionic compounds) are not. They are certainly not stationary: at room temperatures typical speeds are 300-400 m/s, although they don't go anywhere -- they just vibrate in place.

Answer 4

Maybe this is some kind of physics koan, like "does an atom have a Buddha nature?"
