Is A Bubble A Gas, Liquid, or Solid?

People keep saying it's a liquid holding a gas, but my point is that it doesn't have any of the properties of a liquid. It has a definite shape, which liquids don't have.


People keep using the glass of water simile, but a glass of water doesn't happen organically in nature. And when you empty the glass, you're left with a glass, which is a solid. Whereas the outer shell of the bubble and the gas that's in it both do something that a glass of water doesn't do.
 
bruh, it doesnt have a definite shape because of the gas inside, i dont know how else to explain this. The liquid and gas needed to form a bubble are codependent on each other. When one breaks the whole thing falls apart. just cuz it doesnt hold a definite shape doesnt mean its not a liquid holding a gas...

we keep using the glass analogy because its accurate....think of the liquid as the "glass" and the gas as the "water"

they both do something that a glass of water doesnt do because you are talking about a liquid being contained in a solid which is vastly different from a gas being contained in a liquid

think about how fragile something must be if its being contained by floating liquid, I dont know why you think this is anything other than a liquid holding a gas

None of this debunks the answer given to you

Same as popping a bubble, the liquid droplets just falll to the ground

When you pop a balloon you're left with rubber, which is a solid.

When you pop a bubble, you're not left with a solid, and you're not left with liquid either because the gas that was inside the bubble "evaporates" if that's the right word. In other words the gas that's inside the bubble is intrinsically part of the bubble itself, just as much as the outer shell of the bubble (which I'm still not convinced is a liquid) is intrinsically part of the bubble.

In other words, a bubble consists of two components, the shell, and the gas that's inside the bubble. But the shell of the bubble doesn't have the properties of a liquid until after you pop it, at which point the shell and the gas separate into two separate "compounds" if that's the right word.

how can the shell of a bubble not have properties of liquid until after you pop it? you're saying it magically changes its properties back to liquid once the gas leaves? and you're saying it starts off as liquid before the bubble is formed...and its iquid after the bubble dies....but during the life of a bubble it just stops being liquid? you know liquid can float in the air right? just because the gas inside it forces it to stay spherical (LIKE A GLASS FORCES A LIQUID TO TAKE ITS SHAPE) does not mean it does not have the properties of a liquid

Im done after this I hope you stop being stubborn
