turingtest · Answer

At this stage in your schooling, you are probably only talking about three possible states of matter:
Solid, liquid, and gas
Do you think that honey is a solid material?

False.  A solid doesn't flow at all.

Agree with above answers. Honey is a fluid. Fluid is everything that can flow. They even say glass is fluid, because it 'flow' at warm enough temperature.

A common misconception.  Glass it not a fluid, it's an amorphous solid.  There is a measureable difference.  Put simply, it's that the particles in an amorphous solid are generally at local equilibrium, while the particles in a fluid are not.  That is, the net force on most of the atoms, molecules or ions in an amorphous solid acts to restore them to some stable position.  In a liquid, that is not true -- a large minority, sometimes a majority, of particles have net forces pushing them to some other position.

More than you want to know, to be sure.  But keep in mind that the common myth that glass is a fluid is wrong.
