Fluid vs. Liquid

yeah i know this is kind of geeky of me to post stuff to do with my homework, but it helps.

ongman dictionary defines liquid (NOUN or adj) as:

[uncountable and countable] a substance that is not a solid or a gas, for example water or milk:
Add a little more liquid to the sauce.

Fluid (NOUN or adj):

[uncountable and countable] technical
a liquid :
He is not allowed solid food yet, only fluids.
a powerful cleaning fluid.

So the question is how would you explain the difference? Is it merely an issue of technical term versus normal usage term? I need more lucid explanation for the two words. A student asked me the difference between them but I could not really discern the difference.

Chemical vs. Physical

Chemical Properties are properties that are observed when matter is rearranged.

The chemical properties of matter are:

- flammability
- ability to react (reactivity)


Physical Properties
are properties that can be observed without changing the object/substance. (ex. this orange has a very bumpy texture)

The physical properties of matter are:
- physical state
- texture
- color
-flexibility



Chemical Change is a change in matter that produces one or more new substances.

Examples:

- Combustion: rapid combination of a fuel with oxygen; produces heat, light, and new substances.
- Electrolysis: use of electricity to break a compound into elements or simpler compounds.
- Oxidation: slow combination of a substance with oxygen
- Tarnishing: slow combination of a bright metal with sulfur or another substance producing a dark coating on the metal.

9/11 memory

In my garden, I will plant some of Daddy's things

The hat he wears for his favorite baseball team.
His special notes he wrote to me.
His favorite songs he likes to sing.
His special collect cars he bought last spring.

His favorite tie that has grease stains.
His favorite fishing pole, even though he has never caught anything.

And I'm going to plant some of my tears, these come from me.
Every night before I go to sleep, I will go out to my special garden
and pray over Daddy's things.

- A girl who lost her beloved dad.....

i cried while reading this poem.............



DAMN TERRORISTS, HOW DARE U DO THIS TO THE MANY FAMILIES! ANY TERRORIST WHO COMES ON THE US SOIL WILL DIE! kILL THEM ALL SLOWLY BUT PAINFULLY, MAKE THEM PAY FOR THOSE LIVES THAT WERE LOST ON THIS DAY! SAVE THE US FROM THESE ASSHOLES!........ KILL THEM ALL AND SMACK THEM STRAIGHT TO HELL!
