Question

explain why it is difficult to say that flour , tomato sauce and toothpaste is a liquid or solid.

Answer 1

Do they occupy a definite shape? I assume you mean tomato paste, not sauce. Sauce is definitely a liquid, but tomato paste?

Answer 2

thanks! but what about the explaination for flour and toothpaste?

Answer 3

Does flour have a definite shape? Does toothpaste?

Answer 4

So you mean to say that they are both liquid?

Answer 5

I mean both are difficult to classify. All three don't fit the traditional definitions for solid, liquid. Glass is another example: Glass has no definite melting point, it just gets soft and oozes, like tomato paste.

Answer 6

Thank You!
