Silly putty is a very tricky state of matter that has the definitions of two states of matter: solid and liquid. The definition of a liquid is that it takes the shape of the container that it is in, the atoms are loose within the matter, and they flow easily. Solids have tightly packed atoms in the matter, keeps it shape - no matter what container it is in, so it has a certain size or shape (though you can change the shape of solid matter). Silly putty has a in-between atom spacing within it, it isn't just going to stay there, it can move a little. When given time, silly putty can take the shape of the container it is in, but does not flow easily. You can split apart the substance that is silly putty. The boiling point of silly putty has the same freezing point as water - freezing - 0oC, boiling point - 100oC.

What else can I help you with?
Does a plasticine ball float on water?
No, plasticine is denser than water, so a plasticine ball will sink in water rather than float.
Does plasticine floating have to do with water displacement?
Yes, plasticine floating is related to water displacement. When plasticine floats on water, it is displacing an amount of water equal to its own weight, in accordance with Archimedes' principle. The buoyant force acting on the plasticine is greater than its weight, causing it to float.
What can you do to make plasticine float?
To make plasticine float, you can shape it into a boat or raft-like structure with a concave base. By redistributing the weight and displacing enough water, the plasticine will float instead of sink.
Is Plasticine has a definite shape?
Plasticine does not have a definite shape. It is a moldable material that can be easily shaped and reshaped into various forms.
Why can a plasticine in a shape of a boat can float?
Plasticine is less dense than water, so it displaces an amount of water that is equal to or greater than its weight. This buoyant force keeps the plasticine boat afloat on the water's surface.
Is plasticine matter?
yes as anything that has inertia is matter.
If a plasticine is change to another shape will it have the same mass?
Yes, the mass of the plasticine will remain the same if it is simply reshaped into a different form. Mass is a measure of the amount of material present, and reshaping does not change the amount of plasticine present in the object.
How do you spell plasticine?
Plasticine, a brand of modelling clay.
What is plasticine made of?
The main ingredients of Plasticine are petroleum jelly, calcium salts, and aliphatic acids. Plasticine is used as a modeling clay.
What is the duration of Plasticine Crow?
The duration of Plasticine Crow is 480.0 seconds.
Does plasticine have more than one state of matter?
It depends on the time period over which it is observed. On a short time scale it appears to be solid but over a long period of time it will deform as a liquid with very high viscosity.
When was Plasticine Crow created?
Plasticine Crow was created on 1981-08-06.
Does a plasticine ball float on water?
No, plasticine is denser than water, so a plasticine ball will sink in water rather than float.
What is Plasticine commonly used for?
If you want to know what Plasticine is commonly used for, it is for child play and use in schools. In schools Plasticine is used for art lessons such as modelling.
What does mean that plasticine has higher density value that water?
means that plasticine has higher density.
Can plasticine be compress?
no
Does plasticine harden?
No, plasticine does not harden. It remains soft and pliable, making it reusable for molding and shaping.
