What you can't pour is a monolithic solid. A brick is a monolithic solid--it's a big hunk of baked clay. You can't pour the brick because all the atoms are stuck together too tightly. There are a lot of solids you CAN pour, such as sand, salt, sugar, flour...

∙ 14y agowell........... tHE PARTICLES IN A LIQUID R NOT IN A FIXED POSITION I.e. a solid BUT in a liquid they r spread apart more. They also have more energy in them. A gas spreads quickly because the particles are REALLY spread out. They also hav a lot of energy in them. If u search in Google images liquid particles you will see

∙ 13y agoWhen you pour something, you are just letting gravity pull one substance through another. This will only work if the substance being poured is denser than the one it is going through.
You can pour water through air. You can try pouring air through water but the water falls around the air and the air goes to the top.
And you can pour solids. Have you ever poured sand out of a bucket?

∙ 12y agoThe atoms within a liquid a free moving so they move easier into differtent shape.
where as in solids the atoms are tightly packed so it is harder for it to adopt different shapes or to move freely.

∙ 12y agoYou can only pour sand...
and i think if salt is a solid then you can pour salt.
Hope this helped!

Is honey a solid or a liquid?
Honey in not a solid; in fact, it is a very thick liquid. When you try to pour honey out of a jar, as it is very viscous (thick, not easy to pour), it takes a while to come out. It is also very sticky.
Why can you pour liquids but not solid?
Because a solid has a fixed shape while a liquid has no fixed shape. However, it is possible to pour dry sand and that IS a solid. Can you think of why that is
What separation technique can be used to separate a non dissolving solid mixed with a liquid?
Distillation, evaporation (heat the solution above the boiling point of solvent.
What makes a liquid different from a solid or a gas?
a liquid has molecules that flow around faster than a solid and it takes the shape of it's container, unlike a solid, and you can feel and see liquid unlike gas. Liquid can also change to three of the four states of matter naturally (solid,gas,liquid,and plasma), a rare quality for a state of matter.
Is Icing sugar solid gas or liquid?
liquid. A solid is like a block. it can be streched and smushed but otherwise will just sit there. A gas will fill its container and cannot be smushed very much. And a liquid will fill the bottom of the container and cant be smushed. p.s. I like the word smushed p.p.s. golden syrup is nummy p.p.p.s. i like the word nummy
Why is liquid easy to pour?
It is easy to pour a liquid rather than solids because the molecule makeup of fluid is less packed than the molecule makeup of solids. In other words, the molecules of solids are more tightly packed than of fluids.

Is salad dressing a solid liquid or gas?
A liquid. You can pour it onto your salad.
Why does liquid move faster than solid?
because you can pour a liquid but not a solid so therefore a liquid moves faster than a solid to get to the object it is required to get to.
Pour the mixture of solid and liquid from the precipitation process to the filter paper?
Yes, and solid is separated from the liquid by filtration.
What is the difference between solid and liquid is the kind of atoms in the material?
The atoms in a solid are in a tighter formation that as they are in a liquid. In a liquid, They are loose and have the ability to pour.

How do particles in a liquid make it possible to pour liquid into a glass?
it has some what amount of liquid particles so you can por it into a solid object
Is jell-o a solid?
Yes. It sometimes looks like a liquid, but you cannot pour it.
Is bicarbonate of soda is liquid or or gas?
I am sure it is a solid because you cant pour it so it is not a liquid and it is not a gas because you can't see a gas and you can see bicarbonate of soda.So it has to be a solid.
