Best Answer

Solids can behave like a liquid only when the temperature is raised from the temperature at which it is solid . Then the force of attraction between the molecules in the solid weakens as the temp increases , then finally move apart thus volume increases and becomes less rigid . Hence behaves like a liquid and finally at melting point it becomes liquid only .

Why are both liquids and solids called fluids?

Fluids are neither solids nor liquids. Fluids are a form between solids and liquids. Fluids donot exhibit a fixed shape like solids do and also are not free flowing as liquids are. Fluids, while maintaining their total volume can flow freely upto a certain extent. Though not very accurate, a fluid behaves some what like ketchup :)
