Platinum is a solid.
The point at which a liquid becomes a gas is the boiling point. The point at which a gas becomes a liquid is still called the boiling point. A solid going straight to gas without passing through a liquid state is called sublimation. Dry Ice solid CO2 is a substance that that sublimes.
In general, fluidity is the term used to refer to the ability of a fluid to flow. It's the reciprocal of viscosity, which is the resistance of a fluid to deform when subjected to either shear or extensional forces. It (viscosity) is often thought of as the "thickness" of a fluid.Consider that a gas is a fluid just as a liquid is, and a gas is "more fluid" than a liquid. It (the gas) has a greater ability to "flow" than a liquid. Gas atoms or molecules "stick together" less than the atoms or molecules of a liquid. We don't use the term fluidity much in engineering, but stick to viscosity, which is linked below.Solid:A solid's ability to flow is called plasticity. Examples of this process would be the earth's mantle, which is solid material that flows underneath the Earth's crust.
1. Earth (the material) is a solid. 2. Earth (the planet) is a solid with a liquid center.
A direct change of state from a gas to a solid is called DEPOSITION.The opposite process (solid to gas) is called sublimation.
A solid does not flow easily.
liquid and gas because they both have an ability to flow
No. Gas giants do not have a solid surface on which lava might flow.
smoothly
yes indeed solids can flow as well. all states of matter are fluids.
Sand is a solid, made up of tiny particles of rocks and minerals. It does not flow like a liquid or disperse like a gas.
A gas can flow from one place to another. Liquids can also flow, but solids cannot flow because their particles are closely packed and do not move freely.
Solid
It is solid as it doesn't flow like a liquid or has vast space between its molecules like gases.
A gas cannot easily pass through a liquid or a solid however it can be entrapped in it . If a gas bubble is formed in a liquid it moves upward and escapes out of the liquid. Gas cannot pass through a solid barrier.
Changing from a solid to a gas is called sublimation, where a solid directly transitions to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. The reverse process, changing from a gas to a solid, is called deposition, where a gas transforms directly into a solid without becoming a liquid.
No, water does not require a medium to exist. Water can exist in various forms (solid, liquid, gas) in a vacuum environment where there is no medium for it to flow through.
