Why do you use liquids not solids or gases in thermometers?

because liquids can give us the right temperature but solids and gases


Can you see a solid?

Yes, solids are visible to the naked eye. They have a definite shape and volume, which allows them to be perceived in space. The arrangement of their particles gives them distinct physical properties, making them easily identifiable compared to liquids and gases.


Can a liquid be compressed but you are unlikely to see it?

Yes, liquids can be compressed, but the amount of compression is generally very small and often difficult to observe. This is due to the close packing of molecules in liquids, which makes them less compressible than gases. In practical terms, while you may not visibly see the compression, it can be measured under high pressure conditions. For everyday situations, the effect is negligible, making it seem as though liquids are incompressible.


How do you identify gases and solids and liquids?

You can identify solids liquids and gases by seeing how they actually look like for e.g.: I am sure you must like chocolate, well chocolate is actually a solid as it is all in one shape. You cant break it very easily so you have to put a bit of force onto it. You must obviously love let's say coke, well coke is actually a liquid as it can flow and you cant catch it in your hands and hold it the same way you do to chocolate or can you? No! A gas is when you cant see or feel it or hold. So basically the 3 states of matter: solids liquid and gases are based on their properties which are further divided into physical properties and chemical properties. Hope this helps!


Funnel used to separate solids from liquids?

A Buchner funnel is commonly used in laboratories for separating solids from liquids through vacuum filtration. It consists of a perforated plate and a flask below to collect the filtrate, which allows for the liquid to pass through while retaining the solid material on the plate.

How can gas turn into a solid or liquid?

Gases become liquids through condensaton- heat leaves the gas Gases become solids through deposition For more see: http://www.science.uwaterloo.ca/~cchieh/cact/c123/phases.html

What are particles in grade 5?

Particles are the tiny building blocks that make up everything around us, including solids, liquids, and gases. They are so small that we can't see them with our eyes; instead, we can think of them as tiny specks or dots. In solids, particles are close together and vibrate in place, while in liquids, they are more spread out and can move around each other. In gases, particles are far apart and move freely, which is why gases can fill up any space they are in.


What properties do gases have that liquids dont?

In a solid. There are a WHOLE lot of particles. They are all tightly connected and the only way to separate them is by using a lot of force. In a liquid, the particles are connected but can move around freely. They still have to connect to the other particles, but the bond is weaker and very easily broken. In a gas, the particles are NOT connected and can move around freely. They do not have to be connected, unlike solids and liquids; and they can move, unlike solids.


Are gases heavy or light?

Gases are generally considered light because they have low density and weight compared to solids and liquids. Their molecules are less tightly packed and have higher kinetic energy, allowing them to fill their containers and diffuse easily.

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.


What instrument use in density?

A hydrometer is an instrument that measures the density of liquids. Auto batteries could be checked to see the strength of the acid in each cell before sealed batteries were made. I don't know of an instrument for solids or gases.


What are some examples of solids that you see everyday for kids?

Crayons, books, pens, pencils, paper.


What is things that have mass and takes up space?

Things that have mass and take up space are referred to as matter. This includes solids, liquids, gases, and plasma, which are the four primary states of matter. Examples include everyday objects like rocks, water, and air, all of which possess mass and occupy physical space. Essentially, anything that you can touch or see is made up of matter.
