    A semisolid is a substance that has properties between solid and liquid states. Mayonnaise and butter are provided as examples of semisolids that do not maintain a solid shape but also do not flow freely like liquids. Most semisolids are covalent substances that soften gradually as their temperature increases until melting, unlike ionic substances which melt at a single sharp temperature.

    Semisolid

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    A semisolid thing is something that is not really a solid or a liquid. Mayonnaise is an example.
    Mayonnaise does not hold its shape like a solid but does not flow like a liquid. Normally
    semisolids are covalent things. Covalent substances get softer and softer until they
    melt. Ionic substances melt at one temperature and do not get softer. Butter can be a semisolid
    when it is warm. Butter does not hold its shape but it does not flow like a liquid. Paint is also a
    semisolid.
