Solids can behave like a liquid only when the temperature is raised from the temperature at which it is solid . Then the force of attraction between the molecules in the solid weakens as the temp increases , then finally move apart thus volume increases and becomes less rigid . Hence behaves like a liquid and finally at melting point it becomes liquid only .

How do gases behave under different pressures and different temperatures?

Gases behave differently at different pressures and temperatures. At low pressures, gases expand to fill the available space. At high pressures, gases become more compact. At low temperatures, gases condense into liquids or solids. At high temperatures, gases expand and exert greater pressure.


Can solid flow?

Solid materials can flow under certain conditions, such as when subjected to high temperatures or pressures. For example, metals can flow like liquids at high temperatures, a phenomenon known as creep. However, under normal conditions, solids maintain their shape and do not flow like liquids.


Are volatile materials solid only at low temperatures?

No, volatile materials can exist as liquids or solids at low temperatures as well. The term "volatile" primarily refers to a substance's tendency to vaporize or evaporate quickly at normal temperatures. So, while volatile materials may often be gases that turn into liquids or solids at low temperatures, they can also exist in liquid or solid states initially.


How do P waves behave when traveling through a solid n liquid?

P waves travel through solids, liquids, and gasses.


Why liquids are less common than other two states of matter on earth?

Liquids are the least common of the four states of matter due to the temperatures/conditions in which they exist. Gases exist in a very high range of temperatures, as do solids, but liquids require specific temperature ranges (generally very small ones) in order to exist.

What state of matter can be made at low temperatures?

This depends on each material: at low temperatures liquids become solids and gases also liquids and after this solids.

What are facts about liquids solids and gases?

Five facts: 1. When liquids cool down, they become solids. 2. When gases cool down, they become liquids. 3. When solids heat up, they become liquids. 4. When liquids heat up, they become gases. 5. Some liquids will only freeze in temperatures that can never be recreated by humans.
