Question: In terms of their bulk properties, how do liquids and solids differ? How are they similar?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Solids and liquids are similar in some cases but differ in their bulk properties.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Matter

A matter is defined as a substance consisting of several types of particles that has both mass and volume.

Matters make up everything in our world. Atoms and molecules are comprised of extremely small particles of matter. These atoms make up the objects we see and touch every day.

02

Difference between liquids and solids

Solids are rigid and have a set shape, whereas liquids have no fixed shape.

03

Similarities between liquids and solids

Atoms, ions, and molecules make up both solids and liquids, which are almost incompressible and have similar densities.
