Answer:
yes I agree that it is a solid because it does not flow it has a fixed shape and a fixed volume. The fixed shape is the challenging one to explain because when you apply a force its shape can change but generally it stays in the shape you put it in. Plasticine is a type of modelling clay that never hardens

∙ 12y agoin solids the particles are in one place and if changed they remain there but in Plasticine the particles return to its place

∙ 13y agopersonally i think it is neither a solid nor liquid because solid shapes do not change shape because the particles are so close together and cannot move whereas liquid can move around each other and have weak bonds which is why they can move. plasticine can get squished because there is air inside it but it has a limit when you cant squish it any more it has reached its limit. the plasticine only becomes solid when you squish it together so the particles are stuck together.

What Rutherford might have observed if he had bombarded copper metal instead of gold with alpha particles?
have a guess
Why does a balloon deflate when cooled?
It might have something to do with the way particles expand under heat and contract when cold. The particles bunch so close together that the balloon falls inward and deflates.
HOW TO GO THROUGH OBJECTS SOLIDS?
Run at the object as fast as you can, close your eyes, and believe with all your might that you will go through it. It has worked for me, so it will work for you.
What is the release of energy by particles of matter that have absorbed extra energy called?
Radiation. Different levels of energy dictate the type of radiation that is emitted. Extremely excited particles might emit visible light or even x-rays while particles that are not very excited might emit weak radio waves. This range from weak radiation to strong radiation is called the electromagnetic spectrum.
What particles does air contain?
Air actually contains many gases and particles. So if you have any questions ask your science taecher/instructor for help. If not, you can look in your science texbook and you may look in the table of contents and look under atmosphere and you might find the answer to your question... hope this helps-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-78% nitrogen21% Oxygen1% Other gases
What is the best clay for making a small sculpture?
Any type of plasticine would work. If it is small you might want to make sure it is soft.
Can a hose from a fire hydrent blast blow a hole in you?
hahaha.. no offense, but that's a silly question. and no, it can't. because in science if we go back to the "PARTICLE THEORY" it will probably answer your question. see,we are all solids, with liquid inside us yes, but we humans are SOLIDS... water is a LIQUID, and solids particles and closer together to block off and other particle matter weaker than it. and yes the pressure might be very strong. but as i said, solids particles and closer together to block off and other particle matter weaker than it.. so i think that answers your question.. Have a good one Mate! :)
Are turtles shell structures?
they might be either shells or solids
Do solids changes their shape in different containers?
Some semi-solids might, but a solid, by definition keeps it's original shape.
How are areas within the same biome alike how might they differ?
they differ by the climate
If there are more hydroxide particles than hydrogen particles what might the pH be?
pH 1.875
What do you discover when determining mass and volume?
You might discover that solids have mass and they have volume.
What might you call particles of air?
molecules

What does oxygen have?
The atmosphere and particles of the evaporating water mixes in with the particles use to make oxygen what we all now oxygen. THIS IS MY SUGGESTION. ( I MIGHT BE WRONG AND I MIGHT BE RIGHT ).
Which is the gas stored in the fire extinguishers which when realeased forms solids?
There is no type of fire extinguisher that forms solids when released. They release either a gas or liquid or combination. Some liquids may turn into solids when they dry. Some gases (such as CO2) might make OTHER materials turn into solids.
What is the force that acts on subatomic particles?
I think it might be electrostatic force! This is the force that acts between the particles!
