It's theoretically a liquid - however - it's a bit more complicated than that. Paint is a 'suspension' - in that there are microscopic particles of powdered pigments suspended in (usually) a liquid that evaporates, Once the paint is in contact with the air - the liquid part evaporates - leaving the coloured pigment behind.
solid,liquid,gas
Paint is a suspension of solids in a liquid. When the liquid evaporates, the solids are left behind as dry paint (as opposed to the "wet paint" the signs warn you about). There will be some small amount of gas dissolved into the liquid, but it is seldom of any consequence.
Solid
evaporation solid to liquid - melting liquid to gas - evaporation gas to liquid - condensation liquid to solid - freezing solid to gas and gas to solid - sublimation
Is a pencil a solid liquid or gas
a feather is a solid
There are three basic states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. The number of combinations possible from these states is 3! (3 factorial), which equals 6. The six possible combinations are solid-liquid-gas, solid-gas-liquid, liquid-solid-gas, liquid-gas-solid, gas-solid-liquid, and gas-liquid-solid.
Solid in solid: metal alloys. Liquid in liquid: vinegar dissolving in water. Gas in gas: air. Solid in liquid: salt dissolving in water. Liquid in solid: mercury absorbed by gold. Gas in liquid: carbon dioxide dissolving in soda. Solid in gas: smoke particles in air. Liquid in gas: water vapor in air. Gas in solid: hydrogen absorbed by palladium.

Freezing (Liquid 2 solid) Melting (solid 2 liquid) Boiling (liquid 2 gas) Evaporation (liquid 2 gas) Condensation (gas 2 liquid) Sublimation (solid 2 gas) hope this helped
* solid to liquid: melting* liquid to solid: freezing* liquid to gas: vaporization* gas to liquid: liquefaction* solid to gas: sublimation* gas to solid: deposition
Zinc is all, a solid, liquid, and a gas. when it is melted, it is a liquid, when the liquid is heated, it becomes a vapor, a gas, and when the liquid is froze is is a solid.
