At any state of matter (solid, liquid, or gas), the molecules that make up tis matter are at a certain speed. To change one's state of matter, you must change it's temperature. For Example, H2O can be any state of matter. As a solid, ice, the molecules are stopped or moving very slowly, which makes it a solid. To speed up the molecules, you apply heat, which in turn, makes the ice, water, a liquid. To heat again would make the water a gas, water vapor. The same thing works reversed. The water vapor is hot, and so it is attracted to something cold, such as a mirror when you take a hot shower. This act, condensation, is alo responsible for water on the side of a drinking glass. Once the hot vapor touches the hot object (think about cooking with a lid), it becomes instantly colder, and it becomes water again. To freeze it could make (as shown in the water cycle), ice, snow, or sleet, once again, making it a solid. I hope this answered your question.

Which liquid does not turn into a solid?

There is none. every liquid becomes a solid one way or another. its due to freezing, once any liquid is cold enough the molecules compact and make it a solid, and vis vera with a solid. gases are a complete different story but that's not what your looking for. so the answer is, there is no liquid that does not turn into a solid.


What happens to solid liquid or gases when they absorb or release the amount of heat?

When a solid absorbs heat, it may melt and turn into a liquid. When a liquid absorbs heat, it may vaporize and turn into a gas. Conversely, when a gas releases heat, it may condense and turn into a liquid, and when a liquid releases heat, it may solidify and turn into a solid.


Can gases turn into liquid or solid?

The short answer is either. Carbon dioxide when it is frozen is a solid, it does not have a liquid state. Many other gases would become liquid under pressure, like lighter fuel in a cigarette lighter or gas in a calor gas container.

What is a liquid that can turn into a solid called?

A liquid that can turn into a solid is called a "freezing" or "solidification" process. This occurs when a liquid's temperature decreases to its freezing point, causing its particles to slow down and arrange into a more structured, solid form.
