solids hold their shape but liquids take the shape of the container there in

∙ 9y agoLiquids have molecules that are lose and bouncy while solids have molecules hard and packed together. Liquids take the shape of whatever it is in while solids have a definite shape of it's own. solids are something that you can feel and hold while liquids are something you could feel but never actually hold it cause the molecules don't stick together it just bounces around. solids are rigid and are almost always more dense than liquids, the molecules of a solid won't flow freely about each other.
liquids are not rigid at all (the are a fluid (along with gas) so they flow freely) they are usually less dense than solids, will conform to the container they are place in, and the molecules of a liquid flow around each other.

What way are liquid different from solid?
Solids are rigid.
How can a filter be used to separate a mixture?
it can separate solids from a liquid or different size solids as in a screen
How solids are different from gas and liquid?
Liquids have the form of the containers.
Do all solids dissolve in different liquids?
No,not all solid dissolves in different liquid.
Why the solid changing to liquid?
A solid will turn into a liquid if the temperature get hot enough. There are different temperatures for different solids, so you might have to check.
What does not change shape in different containers?
Solids. (Anything that isn't a liquid or a gas)
How are solids and liquids diffrent?
solids and liquids are different from each other because a solid is hard and you can eat it ,a liquid is something you drink.
What Solids liquid and gases all have different?
Particle density Source: university chemistry
What happens to solids and liquids on heating?
Solids turn into liquid. Liquid boils. Simple
What is the difference between total dissolved solids and total suspended solids?
total dissolved solids is how much of the solid is dissolved in the liquid, while suspended total suspended solids is the amount of the solid floating in the liquid. e.g. if you had a solution with both and you filtered the solution then evaporated out the liquid, the solids that you filtered out would be the suspended solids, and the the solids remaining after evaporating the liquid out would be the disolved solids.
Why are liquids and solids different?
A liquid will fit in any shape of a (larger) container, a solid does not, because of its own 'solid' shape.
How is measuring the the mass of a solid different from measuring the mass of a liquid?
Because solids expand when changing state
