ANY substance can do that as long as it is in the liquid phase.

Where are the particles in the 3 states of matter?
In solids, particles are tightly packed together and have a fixed shape. in liquids, particles are loosely packed together and will form to the shape of their container. both solids and liquids have a fixed volume. But gases do not. Their particles have no forces of attraction so they will spread out to fill their container. this means they have an undefined volume. But atoms in each state are still made up of neutrons and protons inside the nucleus, with electrons orbiting around it.
Can a gas be squashed into a smaller space?
yes. Gases fill any shape/container that they are put in because the particles are spaced out, where as solids don't move because the particles are close together.
What does a substance gain or lose when its temperature changes?
The density of the substance becomes higher because of the particles slow down and move closer together when the substance cools.
Does a solid need a container to keep its shape?
liquid take shape of the container because the liquid particles stay together but they still more around. solid does not take the shape of the container, because solid is solid. The molecules cannot form the of the container because the molecules a very near each other.Only liquid can take the shape of the container. Thank you.
What happens when energy is taken away from matter?
The substance's particals will start slowing down and come closer together. As kinetic energy is removed from a substance, it will do the opposite as when kinetic energy is added to a substance.
What substance is solids?
It is a substance that has a lot of particles that are packed together. The particles can not move becase the solid paticles are to strong.
What is A thick solid substance?
It is a substance that has a lot of particles that are packed together. The particles can not move becase the solid paticles are to strong.
What is an apolamer?
A substance made of tiny particles that are forced together
Which substance contains particles held together by metalic bonds?
These are metals.
What is the name of the force that keeps particles of the same substance together?
Cohesion.
What is a container or a glue?
A container is anything that a product comes in, a can, a bottle , a tin etc. A glue is a substance that sticks things together.
What is a solid's thickness?
It is a substance that has a lot of particles that are packed together. The particles can not move becase the solid paticles are to strong.
Do liquids particles move around so fast that they don't even stay close together?
Liquid particles are loosely packed in the container. They do move around but the particles are bond to each other loosely. So the liquid particles stay together.
When two substances are mixed together a magnet can remove particles from a substance.?
A magnet can remove particles from a mixture but not from a chemical compound.
What is it called when the particles are tightly packed together?
its not a substance its a state of matter which is the solid the solid's particles are packed tightly together glad 2 help !! :)
What is added to water to bring the small dirt particles together?
This substance is called flocculant.
What is an attraction between molecules of the same substance and why?
Cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance which binds the particles together.
