whats a solid,liquid and gas?

all things have a solid liquid and gas state. it just depends on the temperature.

That is another one of those "it depends" questions.\n\nSolid, liquid, and gas are the phases know since antiquity.  More recently, plasma has been included in the list.\n\nHowever, there are a number of other "conditions" matter can take, that some scientists consider to be phases, including:\n\nBose-Einstein condensates\nneutronium\nstrange matter\nquark-gluon plasmas\nsuperfluids\n\nAnd the list goes on.  Some of these are theoretical, some can be produced in a laboratory.  And more are being proposed/discovered all the time.\n\nSo, there is no "official" number for phases of matter, because definitions for phases of matter vary.

the basic building blocks of all rocks, minerals, liquids, and gases are chemical elements, which are made up of various combinations of atoms. For example, when lead atoms combine with sulfur atoms, the mineral galena is formed.\n\nA mineral is a naturally occurring solid with a definite chemical composition and crystal structure. Rocks are naturally occurring solids composed of one or more minerals. Rocks are identified by the minerals they contain and are grouped according to their origin into three major classes: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. Each group is subdivided on the basis of texture and mineral composition\n\ndoes this help?\n\nsupposedly you can.

Solid, there are only 2 elements that are liquid at room temperature, Mercury, and Bromine. 2 other elements will melt from the heat of your hand, (slightly above room temperature), Cesium and Gallium.

it should be plasma\nif u mean ice>water>water vapor>plasma\n\nu see,when a solid is heated to a certain extent it melts into liquid,and further heated it becomes a vapour,when it is heated to a greater extent,the molecules break up into atoms and atoms into very minute states.these form a cloud of particles which is called plasma.\nfor ex.,the temp. of stars is upto millions of degrees hence the plasma is present and also known as fourth state of matter.

Powders are solids, but at certain conditions they can behave as liquids or have liquid properties.\n\nFor example if you have a box with powder and a hole on the bottom and you inject air from the bottom, the powder will become fluid and behave like a liquid.\n\nQuicksand is a "powder" but if you have the right amount of water inside it will be a liquid you do not want to fell into....

solid and liquid are the only phases with definate volume, gas and plasma always fill the container they are in.

Could be Liquid Gas. Need more info.

I'm really not sure but it seems as though a glass of soda with ice covers it...the gas is in the carbonation; the liquid is of course the soda itself, and the ice is the solid?

Burning is something that happens to solids before they become a liquid and then a gas. The melting, boiling and evaporation points for water prevent it from being burned in any of it's states.

It is a solid.  Chemically it still acts like a solid.  Yes, we can pour it and measure it like a liquid, but also think of it this way...  powder does not get anything wet, and you cannot float something in powder (Something that floats will come to the surface when buried).

A typical liquid engine uses hydrogen as fuel and oxygen as oxidant; a typical solid propellant is nitroglycerine. In the liquid engine, the fuel and oxidant are stored separately at extremely low temperatures; in the solid engine, the fuel and oxidant are intimately mixed and loaded directly into the combustion chamber. A solid engine requires an ignition system, as does a liquid engine if the propellants do not ignite spontaneously on contact.

most solids are more dense than the same substance in liquid phase and will sink.  Water/ice is an exception to this rule.

because a gas's moleules are all spread out and in liquid they are all together, and a solid is still more dense, because they are packed even tighter together
