Substances like gels, pastes, and colloids are often difficult to classify strictly as solids or liquids because they exhibit properties of both phases. For example, a gel can maintain a shape like a solid while also having a fluid-like consistency. Similarly, materials such as non-Newtonian fluids, which change viscosity under stress, blur the lines between solid and liquid states. These complex behaviors make categorization challenging.

Which substances are difficult to classify as solids or liquids?
Substances such as glass, pitch, and some gels exhibit properties of both solids and liquids. Glass lacks a definite melting point, pitch can flow like a liquid over long periods of time, and gels can have varying degrees of solidity depending on their composition.
Are solids gases and liquids substances?
Yes, all are substances.
Will all solids dissolved in water?
No, not at all. In fact most solids are INsoluble. Some solids (such as metals, stones, wood) don't dissolve while other solids like sugar or salt do dissolve. Water is a polar molecule, therefore it can dissolve only polar substances and many ionic compounds. However, it cannot dissolve non-polar substances.
How can shape and volume classify materials?
- solids have a shape and a volume- liquids have a volume but not a shape- gases haven't shape or volume (in free form)
What are the things to classify elements?
Many classifications exists: metal or nonmetals, solids or gaseous, reactive or not reactive, valency number, radioacive or not, common or rare, etc.

Are corals organic substances?
no because they are solids
What platonic solids is also a cone?
You could classify a regular tetrahedron, which is a platonic sold, as a cone.
In what physical state are substances with a definite shape and volume?
solids
What are two examples of pure substances?
Solids- Gold, Silver
What do you call these substances that dissolve solids easily?
Generally, solvents.
What are diliquescent solids?
Deliquescent solids, also called hygroscopic solids, are solids with a strong affinity for moisture. For instance, Calcium Chloride is deliquescent. Desiccants are a class of particularly deliquescent substances.
Are substances made of particles?
there are lots of substances made up of particles, solids, liquids, gas etc.
What type of substances does conduction best work on?
Substances that are in form of solids offer the best conductivity compared to liquids and gases. The conduction may be sound, electricity or magnetism.
