What can liquid and gas do that solid cannot?
Liquid and gas can flow and change shape to fit their containers, while solids have a fixed shape and volume. Liquids and gases can also be easily compressed or expanded, which is difficult for solids to do.
What property do liquids and gases have that solids do not have?
Liquids and gases are able to flow and take the shape of their container, while solids maintain a fixed shape and volume. Liquids and gases are considered fluids due to their ability to flow, in contrast to solids which are rigid and maintain their shape.
What matters can flow?
Simply, there are three types of matter (which scientists call states), solid, liquid and gas. Liquids and gasses can flow. Solids do not. The solid state is defined by the fact that solids can not flow.
What types of orifice plates is designed to measure the flow of liquids containing solids?
Eccentric or segmental type is used in such a way that its lower edge coincides with the inside bottom of the pipe. This allows the solids to flow through without any obstruction.
Why are both liquids and solids called fluids?
Fluids are neither solids nor liquids. Fluids are a form between solids and liquids. Fluids donot exhibit a fixed shape like solids do and also are not free flowing as liquids are. Fluids, while maintaining their total volume can flow freely upto a certain extent. Though not very accurate, a fluid behaves some what like ketchup :)
What can liquid and gas do that solid cannot?
Liquid and gas can flow and change shape to fit their containers, while solids have a fixed shape and volume. Liquids and gases can also be easily compressed or expanded, which is difficult for solids to do.
What propertys do solids and liquids not share?
Solids have a definite shape and volume, while liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Liquids can flow and take the shape of the container they are in, unlike solids which have a fixed shape.
Why can you pour liquids but not solid?
Because a solid has a fixed shape while a liquid has no fixed shape. However, it is possible to pour dry sand and that IS a solid. Can you think of why that is
What Name a property of liquids that they do not share with solids?
One property of liquids that they do not share with solids is the ability to flow and take the shape of their container. Liquids have the ability to move past one another, while solids maintain their fixed shape and volume.
Compare and contrast solids and liquids?
Solids have a definite shape and volume, with particles that are closely packed and have little movement. Liquids, on the other hand, have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, with particles that are more loosely packed and able to move past each other. Liquids flow and can be poured, while solids maintain their shape.
Materials that can flow to fit their containers include?
gasses, liquids and solids
Gases can be squashed compressedbut solids cannot?
In gases, particles are widely spaced and have high kinetic energy, allowing them to be compressed easily. In solids, particles are closely packed and have strong intermolecular forces that prevent compression. This is why gases can be squashed or compressed, while solids maintain their rigid shape.
What property do liquids and gases have that solids do not have?
Liquids and gases are able to flow and take the shape of their container, while solids maintain a fixed shape and volume. Liquids and gases are considered fluids due to their ability to flow, in contrast to solids which are rigid and maintain their shape.
How are solids and liquid different?
solids hold their shape but liquids take the shape of the container there in
What property do liquids have that solids do not?
they flow freely and do not have a definite shape.
What property do liquids have that solids do not have?
they flow freely and do not have a definite shape.
Two differences between liquids and solids?
Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, while solids have a fixed volume and shape. Liquids have higher molecular mobility compared to solids, allowing them to flow and take the shape of their container.
