A solid has definite volume and shape, a liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape, and a gas has neither a definite volume nor shape.

Foil is a solid metal. It transmits no light and is a total barrier to light including the UV spectrum. Reflects approximately 98% of radiant heat and light. Plain aluminium foil can be compacted and re-melted.

Solids Have Definite Shape and Volume: A solid is the state of matter that has a definite shape and volume. B. There Are Two Kinds of Solids: There are two kinds of solids—crystalline and amorphous.

They are very compressible (particles are widely spaced). There are three states of matter: solid; liquid and gas.

Because the particles don’t move, solids have a definite shape and volume, and can’t flow. Because the particles are already packed closely together, solids can’t easily be compressed.

Granular materials are solids that can flow and behave like liquids. Examples of granular materials include sand, coffee, nuts, even corn flakes. Scientists consider things like icebergs or asteroids to be large granular materials, due to how they behave.

solid: Has a definite shape and volume. liquid: Has a definite volume, but take the shape of the container. gas: Has no definite shape or volume. change of state: When matter is converted from one of the three states (example: solid, liquid, or gas) to another state.

The particles of solids are tightly bound to each other so their positions are set and compressed, therefore they don’t have the ability to flow. On the other hand, liquids and gases are the opposite, therefore allowing their molecules to move and giving them the ability to flow.

Properties of Solids

• Electrical and thermal conductivity.
• Malleability and ductility.
• Melting point.
• Solubility.

Properties of Liquids

• Capillary Action.
• Cohesive and Adhesive Forces.
• Contact Angles.
• Surface Tension.
• Unusual Properties of Water.
• Vapor Pressure.
• Viscosity Viscosity is another type of bulk property defined as a liquid’s resistance to flow.
• Wetting Agents.

All liquids show the following characteristics:

• Liquids are almost incompressible. In liquids molecules are pretty close to each other.
• Liquids have fixed volume but no fixed shape.
• Liquids flow from higher to lower level.
• Liquids have their boiling points above room temperature, under normal conditions.

Liquids may be divided into two general categories: pure liquids and liquid mixtures.

Water, ethanol, household bleach, blood, paint, milk, gasoline, mineral oil, acetone and butyl alcohol are examples of liquids. Liquids’ properties allow them to flow or be poured easily into containers.

“Water” is the name of the liquid state of H2O at standard conditions for temperature and pressure. A number of natural states of water exist. It forms precipitation in the form of rain and aerosols in the form of fog. Clouds consist of suspended droplets of water and ice, its solid state.

Liquids. A liquid has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. Examples of liquids include water and oil. Gases may liquefy when they cool, as is the case with water vapor.

There are four natural states of matter: Solids, liquids, gases and plasma. The fifth state is the man-made Bose-Einstein condensates.

Examples of solids are common table salt, table sugar, water ice, frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice), glass, rock, most metals, and wood. When a solid is heated, the atoms or molecules gain kinetic energy .

A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure. As such, it is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, gas, and plasma), and is the only state with a definite volume but no fixed shape.

Liquid oxygen is a good option for people who need high liter flows of oxygen, usually greater than 6 liters per minute. This type of oxygen therapy uses pure oxygen which is compressed and frozen and then placed into metal cylinders. A liquid oxygen system consists of a stationary unit and a portable device.

Liquids and gases are called fluids because they can be made to flow, or move. In any fluid, the molecules themselves are in constant, random motion, colliding with each other and with the walls of any container. Under standard atmospheric conditions, water exists as a liquid.

Liquid is incompressible because of the quality of its particles. The volume of liquid doesn’t changes with the pressure. That’s why it is not easy to compress it. Compressibility means= volumetric strain/change in pressure.

Mercury

The compressibility of water is negligible, close to zero. Oil is slightly compressible.

Incompressible Fluid: The fluid whose density doesn’t vary in any sort of flow is considered as incompressible fluid. Incompressible flow does not imply that the fluid itself is incompressible. Example of incompressible fluid flow: The stream of water flowing at high speed from a garden hose pipe.
