A solid is an object that can hold itself together despite influences from outside forces. A gas is something that spreads out given the chance. A liquid is something that flows and stays in the form of least resistance.

What is the difference between a mirror and a crystal?
A mirror tells you that it's a surface that will reflect light. A crystal tells you that the atoms of the material are arranged in a very strict lattice like order.
What is the tool used to find the density of a liquid?
Hydrometer is used in batteries to measure density. A float tells you the density using displacement.
Does a thermos freeze liquid?
A vacuum flask keeps hot things hot & cold things cold. Just how it tells the difference is one of the mysteries of the scientific world !

What characteristic of seismic waves tells you that the composition of earth is solid?
The fact that some of the seismic waves are transverse. Transverse (mechanical) waves can't travel through a gas, nor through most liquids.

Which sentence tells about changing matter without changing its state is it freeze water or melt ice?
Neither sentence is correct, state is a solid, a liquid, or a gas. If you melt ice-you are going from a solid (ice) to a liquid (water), if you freeze water - you are going from a liquid (water) to a solid (ice).
What evidence tells you that phyisical porperties take place in a candle as it burns?
When a candle burns the solid wax melts to liquid and then it gets oxidized. This change of solid in to liquid is a physical activities of changing the phase of a substance.
Are most elements solid metals?
Yes. Most periodic tables have a key which tells you what state the element is at room temperature. For example, Hg (mercury) is the only element that is liquid at room temperature.
What does aq s g and l mean in chemistry?
These are called "state symbols". In chemical equations, they tell us what form the compounds/elements etc. are present in: * (s) tells us that the substance is solid, such as 'CaCO3(s)' * (l) tells us that the substance is liquid or molten, such as 'H2O(l)' * (g) tells us that the substance is gaseous, such as 'CO2(g)' * (aq) tells us that the substance is in solution ie. aquaeous, such as 'HCl(aq)'
How a solid turn to liquid?
First of all solid turns into liquid all the time. But to give you a familiar situation, check out you're freezer. It's full of ice. and I'm sure ice is solid. Have you ever tried taking out an ice cube out of you're freezer and put it in a cup, well if you did it'll probably turned into liquid. And will melt in a cup and you can drink it in the form of cold water. And that my friend tells you that solid can be turned into liquid. It also tells you that liquid can be turned into gas when it evaporates and that liquid is turned into solid,(when water turns into ice). Hope that answers you're question!
