Shaving foam is a Liquid, it has a definite volume, but no definite shape. Solids have definite shape and gases have indefinite volume
Shaving foam is a colloid, which is a mixture where one substance is divided into very small particles and mixed into another substance. It displays properties of both a liquid (flowing) and a gas (expanding).
Shaving cream is a colloid type known as a foam. It consists of small gas bubbles dispersed in a liquid, along with other solid particles such as surfactants and moisturizers. The bubbles provide a smooth texture that helps the razor glide over the skin during shaving.
colloid: Classification of Colloids A gas may be dispersed in a liquid to form a foam (e.g., shaving lather or beaten egg white) or in a solid to form a solid foam (e.g., styrofoam or marshmallow). ... In still other cases (e.g., a dispersion of a protein in water) the particles are actually very large single molecules.
liquid not solid or gas
It is a solid because it does not really make a puddle when out of container. ============================== Who says its solid. Its a semisolid consisting mostly of air and hence called a foam.
a solid.
no it is a liquid, it will slowly shape itself to the container.
Shaving cream is typically classified as a foam, which is a mixture of gas and liquid. When dispensed, it appears as a creamy substance, but it can have both liquid and semi-solid characteristics depending on its formulation. Most shaving creams are designed to be easily spreadable and provide a protective barrier on the skin during shaving.
* solid particles dispersed in a gas (solid aerosol); example: dust in air * liquid droplets dispersed in a gas (liquid aerosol); example: cloud * solid particles dispersed in a liquid (sol); examples: slime, paste * gas dispersed in a liquid (foam); example: whipped cream * liquid in a liquid (emulsion); example: hand lotion * gas dispersed in a solid (solid foam); example: foam rubber * liquid dispersed in a solid (gel); example: jelly * solid in solid (solid sol); example: some glasses
Shaving foam is a colloid, which is a mixture where one substance is divided into very small particles and mixed into another substance. It displays properties of both a liquid (flowing) and a gas (expanding).
Foam is a substance that consists of two states of matter: a gas and a liquid or solid. The liquid or solid traps the gas inside.
Shaving foam is an example of foam. It is a lightweight, frothy substance that is used to help lubricate the skin during shaving. Shaving foam is made up of tiny air bubbles dispersed in a liquid solution.
The white foam is a mixture of a liquid and gasses.
aerogel and styrofoam
There is more than one kind of foam. Styrofoam is a solid mixed with gas. Soap suds are made of a liquid mixed with gas. I would call foam, in technical terms, a composite material. It's made of more than one thing.
Shaving cream is a colloid type known as a foam. It consists of small gas bubbles dispersed in a liquid, along with other solid particles such as surfactants and moisturizers. The bubbles provide a smooth texture that helps the razor glide over the skin during shaving.
A spray or aerosol is a shower of very small droplets of a liquid or very fine particles of a solid suspended in the air. After a short while the droplets dissipate by falling or blowing away. A foam is similar to a spray but of air or other gas droplets suspended in a liquid or other medium. Shaving cream, whipped cream, soap bubbles are a foam in a liquid medium. A solid foam can be a sponge or plastic insulation material. Another example of a foam in solid is bread. Yeast used in the production of bread grows and creates pockets of carbon dioxide (CO2) which form the pockets that make the bread soft.
