Surface tension-Attractive forces cause particles on the surface of a liquid to pull together and resist from being pushed apart. These particles on the surface are pulled toward the center of the liquid and and sideways along the surface. There are no liquid particles above to pull on them. Particles under the surface are pulled in all different directions. Surface tension is the uneven forces acting on the surface particles of a liquid. Surface tension causes a liquid to act like it has a thin film stretched across the surface.

∙ 14y agoI have read that glass is actually a very viscous liquid, and that the windows of cathedrals built hundreds
of years ago are thicker at the bottom of the pane than at the top, because the glass has flowed downward
through the centuries. When I read that, it fascinated me for two reasons.
The second reason was: How in the world do you measure the thickness of a windowpane that's set in a giant wall,
and which you cannot open or remove ???

∙ 13y agoHg, or Mercury is a solid that acts like a metal. This is because of the structure of the atom. solids stick together, but mercury's atoms slide around, making look like a liquid.

Is the mantle made of hot and solid rock that can flow?
It is made of very hot liquid rock that flows, though the asthenosphere is almost a solid, it is more like clay.
What is pepper a solid liquid or gas?
It is a solid
Can a solid be a fluid?
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.
A solid that changes to a liquid?
A solid object like an ice cube can be liquid. How you ask? you can just heat it up! to change a liquid object back to a solid, you just freeze it!
Is toothpaste a solid or a gas or liquid?
Toothpaste is actually a solid. It is a solid that acts like a liquid.
Is the mantle a solid?
It is considered a solid, but it flows like a liquid
What is a liquid that can turn into a solid called?
The liquid that can turn into a solid is called a "freezing" or "solidification" process
Is asthensphere a liquid?
No. The asthenosphere is what is called a viscoelastic material. On the time scale we are familiar with it behaves as a solid, but on extremely long time scales of thousands to millions of years it flows like a viscous liquid.
What is it called when solid melts into a liquid?
A solid, like metal or glass, turns to a liquid with the application of much heat. This process is called, "Melting".
Is play dough a soild or a liquid?
a solid, It does not exhibit the properties of a liquid at rest. A substance that acts like a liquid and a solid is called a non-newtonian fluid
Is the mantle made of hot and solid rock that can flow?
It is made of very hot liquid rock that flows, though the asthenosphere is almost a solid, it is more like clay.
What is the property of flowing slowly in liquids?
The property of flowing very slowly in liquid is called viscosity. A liquid with high viscosity flows very slowly, like syrup or tar. A liquid with low viscosity flows quickly, like water.
What is pepper a solid liquid or gas?
It is a solid
How is a liquid like a solid?
A liquid is like a solid because a liquid I usually a heated solid Ex. Water is heated ice
What is the liquid that contains sperms?
YESIt would really hurt your d1ck if it were in solid form cumming out and if it were in gaseous phase, it would blow out your d1ck like a fuucking fart out your a55.
What state of matter is toothpaste?
Solid.
Which liquid has the least resistance to flow?
The liquid that has the least resistance to flow is considered to be the least viscus. Water is one of these substances.
