Is it true that the pipettes are used to transfer solids from one container to another?

Transfer pipettes, also called Pasteur pipettes, are used to transfer small quantities of liquid from one container to another. They cannot be used to move a specific volume, they are just used for approximations. The only time they would be used to transfer solids would be solids suspended in a liquid solution.

Do solids take the shape of it container?
No they don't because they have tightly packed particles. But liquids can take the shape of their container.
The direct transfer of molecular motion through solids?
The direct transfer of molecular motion through solids is called conduction
How can you tell solids and liquids apart?
Liquids are malleable, meaning you can shape them, or they can change to fit the shape of the container they are being held in. Solids are basically classified as anything that can not(dramatically) change form or conform to another shape.
Fixed volume but match their container?
Solids are rigid and incompressible. Liquids have fixed volume but match their container. Gases completely fill their container.
How gases are different from solids?
They are lighter in density as compared to solids. Gas are compressible, whereas not all solids. Gases exhibit better flow characteristics than solids. Gases readily react with other substances. All solids are seen by the naked eye whereas some gases are not.
When placed in a container will not take on the shape of the container?
solids...

What is used for measure volume?
Cylinder
What could be placed in a container that would not take on the shape of the container?
Gases, Liquids and solids are sometimes contrasted by the fact that liquids and gasses will take on the shape of the container that they are placed in while solids do not.
The direct transfer of molecular motion through solids?

What is the proper way of transferring liquid substances from a narrow mouth container to a bigmouth container or vice versa?
Small chemicals can be transferred into a small-mouthed container using a spatula or a piece of paper. Dissolve the solids, make a stiff paper and scoop the solids before forcing it to slide along the piece of paper into the container with a small mouth.
By which mode of heat transfer heat is transferred in solids?
the process of transfer of heat energy in solids is known as conduction.. For more info-- the process of transfer of heat energy in liquids and gases is known as convection.. And the process of transfer of heat energy without any material medium is known as radiation..
Do mechanical waves travel faster in solids or liquids?
Mechanical waves involve the physical transfer of vibration from one particle to another within the medium. Denser materials (solids and liquids), have closer particles so this transfer of energy occurs more quickly. :)
Does not change shape when placed in a diffrent container?
Solids.
