Why are organic solvents usually volatile?

Most of the organic solvents that I'm familiar with also happen to be very volatile. Is this a coincidence, or is there some underlying property of volatile compounds that make them good organic solvents?

How do auxetic materials work?

Posted: 14 Feb 2022 02:10 PM PST

I learned that auxetic materials have a negative poisson's ratio, so when you pull on them they also expand in other directions. How does this work? The solid can't gain volume, so where is the material coming from?

When one draws in their stomach, where does the volume go? Can the intestines compress?

No additional questions.

Does water freeze if left still in perfect conditions?

Posted: 13 Feb 2022 02:47 PM PST

Theoretically, would water freeze if it were left in a closed container in a vacuum of space (no external forces on container) over an infinite period of time? Temperature is correlated with the speed of particles. Therefore, over an infinite amount of time, would these water particles eventually slow down/settle enough to freeze?
