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.

What is a substance that does not allow electricity to pass through it easily?
Insulators - they cannot allow electricity to flow through them as they have no mobile charge carriers present. Insulators - they cannot allow electricity to flow through them as they have no mobile charge carriers present.
Why are liquids more fluid than solids?
A liquid is a fluid. Unlike a solid, the molecules in a liquid have a much greater freedom to move. The forces that bind the molecules together in a solid are only temporary in a liquid, allowing a liquid to flow while a solid remains rigid.
Any material that can flow is a?
liquid
Why can't solids flow?
the atoms and molecules are packed so close together there is no room for them to pass through each other
What is an example of conduction?
An example of conduction is a metal spoon in a cup of hot water.an electric current flowing through water
Why liquid substances have the ability to permit the flow of current through them?
First off, not all liquids allow current to flow through them, some are great insulators and allow no current flow. The amount of free electrons in the liquid determines whether or not this can happen. it is all about the molecule makeup of the liquid. The more free electrons the better current flow capabilities. Mercury is one of the best conductors, De-ionized water is electrically neutral and does a poor job and is almost an insulator, hope this answer works.
What does movement of molecules in a liquid allow the liquid to do?
Flow
Why is a liquid able flow?
a liquid is able to flow because its freely moving particles allow liquid to flow from place to place
Can you liquid flow through a pipe?
of course liquid can flow through a pipe?
Can a rock have small spaces but not allow water to flow through?
Yes, it can have porosity, or pore spaces, but may not have permeability, or the ability for a fluid to flow through connected pore spaces.
What are 9 special properties of matter with definition?
Mass: Amount of matter in an object. Weight: The force of gravity acting on an object’s mass. Volume: The amount of space occupied by an object. Density: Mass per unit volume of an object. Melting point: Temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid. Boiling point: Temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas. State of matter: Solid, liquid, or gas based on particle arrangement. Conductivity: Ability to allow heat or electricity to pass through. Solubility: Ability to dissolve in a solvent.
What is a measure of material's ability to allow water to move?
Permeability is the measure of a material's ability to allow water to move through it. It is often used to determine the rate at which water can flow through soils or other porous materials. High-permeability materials allow water to move quickly, while low-permeability materials impede water flow.
What is the ability of a substance to allow the flow of energy or electricity?
Conductivity is the ability of a substance to allow the flow of energy or electricity. Materials with high conductivity, like metals, allow energy to flow easily, while insulators, like rubber or plastic, restrict the flow of energy.
What is the nickname for electrical conductivity?
The nickname for electrical conductivity is "conductance." It refers to the ability of a material to allow the flow of electric current through it.
What is a silver spoon a insulator or conductor?
Silver is a good conductor of electricity, not an insulator. This is due to its ability to easily allow the flow of electrons through it.
What is the name of the process of the ability of water to pass through a rock?
The process is called permeability, which refers to the ability of water to flow through the small spaces within a rock or soil. Permeable rocks allow water to move through them easily, while impermeable rocks do not allow water to pass through.
What does viscosity mean for a liquid?
It is the ability of the liquid to flow. The higher the viscosity, the less the ability to flow. For example, oil is more viscous than water; honey is more viscous than oil.
