Great question - the answer wont please many

The 1 Oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms form a compound with which all life depends on - yet it is truly unique for unexplained reasons

There is a special electro-magnetivity which is not explainable and does not exist in any other compounds.

Much larger, heavier compounds such as CO2 SO2 NH4 NO2 to name a few popular ones, exist as gasses at room temperature and have extremely low boiling points.

Yet the 'water' compound - did you realise it actual is an ash!! Yep, its an oxide of Hydrogen. defies all the other gas principals.

Also science has found the mysterious 'hydrogen' bond

where as (simply speaking) all organic chemistry is based on electromagnetic repulsion and attraction (connection), that means that the 'plus' or positively charged atom is attracted to a negatively charged particle AND at the same time is repulsed by a similar charged atom. So the particle seeks to be as far away as possible from the like charged particle - this doesn't happen in the water compound.

Simple put - the H - O - H arrangement 'should be' in a straight line - IE 180 degrees of bonding (connection) . . . . . . .

But it isn't it is at an incredible 104 degrees with a 'dog leg' arrangement, this is astounding and another mystery, there is no reasonable or rational explanation for this except . . . . . . . . . a designer

- this is the mechanism that permits the liquid form at room temperature, yet it completely goes against basic chemical principals & there are no other comparable examples. Yet without it, no life as we know it can exist

The simple answer is we (scientists, of which I'm one) don't know. its actually a miracle right beneath our eyes, that stares us in the face everyday - isn't that amazing.

Why liquidgas or plasma considered fluids?

Fluids are substances that flow. Liquids flow, gases flow, and ionized gases (plasmas) flow. Thus, they are all fluids.


Fluids include both and?

Fluids include both liquids and gases. Liquids have a fixed volume but no fixed shape, while gases have neither a fixed volume nor a fixed shape. Both liquids and gases are considered fluids because they can flow and take the shape of their container.


Are both gases and liquids fluids?

yes, gases and liquids are fluids. this term is usually used when referring to resistance since frictio occurs in solids.


if Fluids can flow and change shape to fit their containers Which two states are fluids?

The two states of matter that are considered fluids are liquids and gases. Both have the ability to flow and change shape to fit their containers.


What are 2 types of materials that are considered to be fluids?

Two types of materials that are considered to be fluids are liquids and gases. Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of the container they are in, while gases have neither a definite volume nor shape and expand to fill their container.


What substances are considered fluids?

Substances that flow and take the shape of their container are considered fluids. Common examples include water, oil, gasoline, and air. Liquids and gases are both considered fluids.


What is the difference between a fluid and a liquid?

Fluids versus liquidsAll liquids are fluids but not all fluids are liquids. The scientist (or engineer) will make that distinction but the non-scientist frequently doesn't. Fluids flow. They include liquids and gases. Liquids are a type of fluid that flows and takes the shape of its container but does not expand to fill its container. (Gases do that.) Liquid is the second state of matter, between solid and gas.Liquids do not expand, gases do. The main point is that gases and liquids are both fluids.both liquids and gases are called fluids


Difference between fluids and liquids?

Fluids are substances that can flow and have the ability to take on the shape of their container, encompassing liquids, gases, and plasma. Liquids specifically refer to substances that have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container. In essence, all liquids are fluids, but not all fluids are liquids.


Are gasses and liquids both concidered a fluid?

Yes, both gases and liquids are considered fluids because they can flow and take the shape of their container. Fluid mechanics is a branch of physics that studies the behavior of both gases and liquids.


What statement correctly describes both gases and liquids?

Fluids. Any substance that has the ability to flow are defined as fluids. Both liquids and gases have the ability to flow and they are collectively termed as fluids. However, very fine solid particles also belong to this category.


Is there a difference between fluids and liquids?

Fluids refer to both liquids and gases; liquids are just liquids. That is, Fluids = Liquid OR Gas Liquid = Liquid We can see that liquids are actually a fluid.


Are liquids fluid but gases not?

Both liquids and gases are considered fluids because they can flow and take the shape of their containers. Liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape, whereas gases have neither a definite shape nor volume as they expand to fill the container they are in.
