why do solids keep their shape and volume why do liquids keep only volume and why do gases not keep either shape or volume
kodGreya [7K]
Solids always have definite shape and definite volume because their particles are packed together. Liquids have a definite volume but not definite shape, because their particles still kinda tight but able to move around, and gases don’t have a definite shape nor volume, because their particles are crazy and go everywhere

How can you tell that a white powder is salt without tasting it?
ZanzabumX [31]

You can detect salt in water without tasting by measuring the density of the water. Place a glass of spring water and a glass of the suspected salt water on a balance scale and the heavier one contains salt. Other ways to test for salt in water is to put a drop of water on the end of a nail and place in a gas flame. If the water contains salt, the flame will turn a yellow/orange color.
