Generally, no. That's what makes it a solid. Unless of course the solid has holes in it.

Is palladium a solid liquid or gas?

Platinum is a solid.


What is it called when a liquid becomes a gas a gas becomes a liquid a solid becomes a gas?

The point at which a liquid becomes a gas is the boiling point. The point at which a gas becomes a liquid is still called the boiling point. A solid going straight to gas without passing through a liquid state is called sublimation. Dry Ice solid CO2 is a substance that that sublimes.


What is the ability to allow liquid to flow through?

In general, fluidity is the term used to refer to the ability of a fluid to flow. It's the reciprocal of viscosity, which is the resistance of a fluid to deform when subjected to either shear or extensional forces. It (viscosity) is often thought of as the "thickness" of a fluid.Consider that a gas is a fluid just as a liquid is, and a gas is "more fluid" than a liquid. It (the gas) has a greater ability to "flow" than a liquid. Gas atoms or molecules "stick together" less than the atoms or molecules of a liquid. We don't use the term fluidity much in engineering, but stick to viscosity, which is linked below.Solid:A solid's ability to flow is called plasticity. Examples of this process would be the earth's mantle, which is solid material that flows underneath the Earth's crust.


Is rock solid liquid or gas?

1. Earth (the material) is a solid. 2. Earth (the planet) is a solid with a liquid center.


What is it called when a gas goes straight to a solid?

A direct change of state from a gas to a solid is called DEPOSITION.The opposite process (solid to gas) is called sublimation.
