Best Answer

Flour acts as a solid when in a stationary state however if air is blown into the flour at a calculated rate, the flour can take on the properties of a liquid. Adding air to the flour adds energy which moves the particles similar to adding energy to a block of ice which excites the molecules into movement.

I doubt that helped anyone! Strictly speaking flour is a solid but its grains are so fine it could be called a dense mixture of solid and gas (air), the air being in the tiny interstices. You can prove that by spooning some loosely into a beaker, then gently tapping the beaker. The grains settle by being dislodged from each other and dropping into the gaps between them, displacing the air.

Both. I may be wrong, but all matter is either solid, liquid or a gas. Flour is a solid in powder form. It will always be a solid.
