Solids are merely the more slowed down versions of their liquid states. Also, the difference between a solid and a liquid is not as much compared to a liquid to a gas, as far as how much space is taken up per molecule. In short, basically a liquid's molecules are already pretty close, to become a solid the molecules don't have to get too much closer.

Do liquids and solids diffuse easily?
Liquids do, but solids do not.
What is the classification of solutions?
- Solutions can be saturated or unsaturated. or - Solutions of solids in liquids, solids in solids, liquids in liquids (rarely used the expression gas in gas).
Compare and contrast solids and liquids?
Liquids are easier to manipulate than solids are. Also, liquids generally conform to the shape of the container in which they are placed, while solids do not.
How does solids liquids and gases benefit us?
All I know is that we drink liquids, breath gases, but how does solids help?
Unlike solids and liquids a gas will?
Unlike solids and liquids, a gas will expand to fill the space available to it.
Do gases always have densities less than solids and liquids?
Yes, it is true.
Why liquids have lower density than solids?
Not all liquids have lower densities than all solids. Low density solids frequently contain air or other gasses as part of their makeup (cok, Styrofoam, etc)
Why does sound travel differently in solids liquids and gasses?
Gases, liquids and solid all have different consistencies (densities). So the sound is changed
Does sound travel slower through air solids or liquids?
Sounds travels slowest in air and fastest in solids. Generally, sound travels faster through materials of higher densities.
The order of densities of the liquids and solids in the cylinder?
density=mass/volume The density depends upon the mass and volume of the cylinder.
Why does liquids have density?
Their volume and mass are easily tested so it is a nice way to characterise a liquid sample by. Solids and gases also have densities by the way
Why are gases not always visible while most liquids and solids are visible?
It's mostly to do with density. In simple terms, gases have very low densities compared to solids and liquids, so that their molecules/atoms cause very little scatting of light as it passes through them.
What are the functions of beaker?
To hold liquids and solids. Similar to a glass in a kitchen but used in a laboratory and has a spout for ease in pouring liquids.
Do liquids and solids diffuse easily?
Liquids do, but solids do not.
What is the change of Solids to liquids to solids again called?
Solids to Liquids (Melting) Liquids turning back into a Solid (Freezing) ((SCF))
Why do liquids have lower density than solid?
Not all liquids have lower densities than all solids. Low density solids frequently contain air or other gasses as part of their makeup (cok, Styrofoam, etc)
What item has a fixed volume solids liquids or gases?
solids and liquids
