Want this question answered?
When a liquid changes to the solid state, the molecules slow down so that they only vibrate in place and can no longer flow like a liquid.
solid
The particles making up a solid have low kinetic energy and only vibrate in place. The particles cannot move past one another so they do not flow.
No. However, there are substances that don't fit neatly into a solid/liquid dichotomy. Glasses, for example, are much more like solids than they are like liquids, but they do have some liquid-like characteristics. Liquid crystals are liquids that show some solid-like characteristics. Viscoelastic materials (Silly Putty is probably the best known example) are somewhere in between.
The three basic states of matter are: solid, liquid, and gas.
When a liquid changes to the solid state, the molecules slow down so that they only vibrate in place and can no longer flow like a liquid.
gas and liquid
a liquid is able to flow because its freely moving particles allow liquid to flow from place to place
flow
This depends on how dense the solid is, and how dense the liquid is.
The particles of a liquid are not packed as tightly as they are in a solid and can slide past one another, allowing the liquid to flow.
A solid.
liquid and gas because they both have an ability to flow
It is solid as it doesn't flow like a liquid or has vast space between its molecules like gases.
in some cases yes e.g sugar is a solid but moves like a liquid so yes solids can flow
the rock that can flow like a liquid is a mantle because the mantle has two parts. The upper part is the solid rock. The solid rock of the mantle is part is the lithosphere. Below the solid rock, the mantle rock has the ability to flow like a liquid. Most of the mantle is made up of rock that can flow. Sanjida Ahmed 752/753
yes indeed solids can flow as well. all states of matter are fluids.
