Is whip cream a solid or liquid?

seriously... is it solid or liquid?Is whip cream a solid or liquid?
According to Chemistry 101 rules:





A Gas is something that's atoms expand to fill all available space.


Has no definite shape or volume.





A liquid is something that is ';an amorphous (non-crystalline) form of matter between a gas and a solid that has a definite volume, but no definite shape.';





A solid is something that's atoms have little movement, no flow, has definite volume and a definite shape.





According to these rules, I'd say whip(ed) cream is a solid. This is assuming that it is stiffly whipped and not 'fluffy' or 'soft peaks'.Is whip cream a solid or liquid?
One method I was always taught is if its something that can be poured (like water, juice, cream, etc etc) then its a liquid. If it wouldn't be poured in the traditional sense of the word, then its a solid. I would consider whip cream a liquid since its initial form is a liquid (cream) with air whipped in.
it is a colloid, a complex emulsion of fats, water, and air, thus it is still in a liquid state
loose solid it still has a structure





a solid liquid materiail( forgot the scientific name ) would be like mixing cornstarch and water
I'd call it a ';full liquid';
Probably a solid.
its a liquid because you cant bite hard on it because its like biting water so it is a liquid
It's a solid. It just has a lot of air in it.
liquid
what a great question!


...but idk the answer
