Glass is an amorphous liquid, that has not undergone a clear phase transition.

This question is somewhat ambiguous since most compounds can be solid or liquid at different times. More importantly, however, is that given the correct temperature and pressure all materials can be made to exist in all three (ordinary) states of matter simultaneously. Such a combination of temperature and pressure is known as the triple point for that material.

A material that is at its point of fusion can be a solid or a liquid. Water at 0 degrees Celsius is at its point of fusion.

Why does steric acid freeze and melt at the same temperature?

Both melting point and freezing point define the temperature at which a material changes either from a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a solid. A material freezing or melting is the same just the reverse so they happen at the same temperature. This is sometimes not true when you get supercooling or superheating, but that is more complicated!


Is there anything that is both solid or liquid?

At the same time, no. Being solid and liquid at the same time would be like being hot and cold at the same time.

What is it called when a substance is a solid and liquid?

There is no actual name for a solid and liquid. An item can be a solid and liquid, but that is only under different pressures. For instance: The iron that makes up the Earths core is a solid, but that same material that is found in the Earths upper mantel is a liquid. This is because of the pressure differences


What is the difference in mass between a solid and a liquid?

A solid and liquid have the same mass if the amount is the same.


What is the difference between solid liquid gases in mass?

Nothing, if it is the same amount of material in all three phases.If however it is the same volume and pressure then solid and liquid phases will have about equal mass but the gas phase will have much less mass.


The density of a liquid form of a material is always less than the density of the solid form of that same material?

Yes true, however this is not true of H2O or water. Water in solid form is actually less dense than its liquid form. That is why ice floats on water.


Do solids and liquids contain the same elements?

Solid and liquid water do have things that are in common. Both a solid and a liquid are considered matter, just in a different state. Solid and liquids also take up a fixed volume of space.
