Want this question answered?
Toothpaste is actually a solid. It is a solid that acts like a liquid.
slime is a liquid. it has a definite volume but not a definite shape. and when you leave it on a flat surface, it spreads like a puddle. specifically, slime is a non newtonian fluid. non newtonian means that it doesn't behave like we think it should behave.
Solids can behave like a liquid only when the temperature is raised from the temperature at which it is solid . Then the force of attraction between the molecules in the solid weakens as the temp increases , then finally move apart thus volume increases and becomes less rigid . Hence behaves like a liquid and finally at melting point it becomes liquid only .
A mixture of solids would be something like for example; compost. It is made up of all solid parts, yet the parts are different. It would not be considered a liquid or a gas, as all parts are solid and have not changed.
It is a solid
Does it look and behave like water? If not, it is a solid.
No. It behaves like a solid.
No. It behaves as a solid.
Grain of solid suspense in air or liquid stream would behave like a fluid, you will find many of these phenomenon using the key word "Fluidized Bed".
Finally divided powder or sand like solids behave just like liquids.
Like all organisms, gemrs are mixtures with boht solid and liquid components.

the pressure is making it behave in a solid form
