How can I cut easy some materials like a tomato and some materials like gold not?
In: 6
Not all solids are created equal. Some are hard, with strong intermolecular bonds that allow the material to resist abrasion and deformation. Some isn’t. Gold is a metal. It’s not as solid as the other metals (in fact it can be worked and deformed quite easily at room temperature), but it’s still more solid than the fibers that make up a tomato.
Don’t forget that a tomato is mostly made up of water, too.
